Hi, I recently deleted a local perl and cpan version on my server. (I wanted everyone to be using the same perl and cpan.) After I did that I started having a problem where if I type 
 ionadmin@ion-torrent-server:/usr/share$ cpan
-bash: /usr/local/bin/cpan: No such file or directory

This makes since, since I just deleted it, but why isn't it finding the system cpan? (/usr/bin/cpan) What's strange to me is if I type 
 ionadmin@ion-torrent-server:/usr/share$ perl -MCPAN -e shell
Terminal does not support AddHistory.

cpan shell -- CPAN exploration and modules installation (v2.00)
Enter 'h' for help.

cpan[1]> exit

it works just fine. How can I access the interactive mode by typing just "cpan"? How can I get cpan to locate itself at /usr/bin/cpan? 
 ionadmin@ion-torrent-server:/usr/bin$ echo $PATH
/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/game

In reply to interactive mode cpan. "cpan" doesn't work. "perl -MCPAN -e shell" does by Jeri
