Hi All,

am using perl,

racket@ibmlap perl$ perl -v This is perl, v5.8.5 built for i386-linux-thread-multi

on a Linux box, CentOS4.1 and am having trouble adding modules,

Removing previously used /root/.cpan/build/junoscript-perl-6.4I0 CPAN.pm: Going to build J/JU/JUNOS/junoscript-perl-6.4I0.tar.gz Checking if your kit is complete... Looks good Warning: prerequisite IO::Tty 0 not found. Writing Makefile for junoscript-perl ---- Unsatisfied dependencies detected during [J/JU/JUNOS/junoscript-p +erl-6.4I0.tar.gz] ----- IO::Tty Shall I follow them and prepend them to the queue of modules we are processing right now? [yes]

and then after giving a yes, get the below continuously,

Trying with "/usr/bin/links -source" to get ftp://ftp.perl.org/pub/CPAN/authors/id/G/GB/GBARR/CHECKSUMS ERROR at dump.c:188: Error reading from socket Trying with "/usr/bin/links -source" to get ftp://ftp.perl.org/pub/CPAN/authors/id/G/GB/GBARR/CHECKSUMS.gz ERROR at dump.c:188: Error reading from socket Trying with "/usr/bin/wget -O -" to get ftp://ftp.perl.org/pub/CPAN/authors/id/G/GB/GBARR/CHECKSUMS --17:00:33-- ftp://ftp.perl.org/pub/CPAN/authors/id/G/GB/GBARR/CHECKS +UMS => `-' Resolving ftp.perl.org... 163.143.1.21 Connecting to ftp.perl.org|163.143.1.21|:21... connected.

I can successfully ping that IP. Doing this as root, as a sudo gave other errors. Any thoughts/suggestions? Cheers
