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]

[download]

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

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