What format should this be in. The man pages say Continent,Country, : etc but no matter what I enter I am told it is wrong. Why don't you try this next time: perl -MCPAN -e 'install Module::Foo' when you run this, if you haven't configured CPAN yet, it will ask you to auto configure it. That way, next time you want to install modules you don't have to try it the hard way. Not to mention the above command eliminates the need ( in most cases ) of going to the CPAN shell.
