Would someone please help me to use CPAN to update / install modules. I'm using ActiveState Perl 5.6, on winXP.
I'm fairly sure its happening because I stupidly set up all my programs below a 'My Programs' directory with an embedded space. The messages I get are typically like these : ============ start of CPAN messages ================= Running install for module CPAN Running make for A/AN/ANDK/CPAN-1.76.tar.gz Fetching with LWP: ftp://ftp.demon.co.uk/pub/CPAN/authors/id/A/AN/ANDK/CPAN-1.76.tar.gz Fetching with LWP: ftp://ftp.demon.co.uk/pub/CPAN/authors/id/A/AN/ANDK/CHECKSUMS Checksum for C:\My Programs\DOWNLOADS\sources\authors\id\A\AN\ANDK\CPAN-1.76.tar .gz ok CPAN-1.76/ CPAN-1.76/lib/ CPAN-1.76/lib/CPAN.pm CPAN-1.76/lib/CPAN/ CPAN-1.76/lib/CPAN/Admin.pm CPAN-1.76/lib/CPAN/Nox.pm CPAN-1.76/lib/CPAN/FirstTime.pm CPAN-1.76/lib/Bundle/ CPAN-1.76/lib/Bundle/CPAN.pm CPAN-1.76/t/ CPAN-1.76/t/loadme.t CPAN-1.76/t/vcmp.t CPAN-1.76/t/signature.t CPAN-1.76/t/mirroredby.t CPAN-1.76/t/Nox.t CPAN-1.76/PAUSE2003.pub CPAN-1.76/MANIFEST CPAN-1.76/MANIFEST.SKIP CPAN-1.76/scripts/ CPAN-1.76/scripts/cpan CPAN-1.76/META.yml CPAN-1.76/BUNDLE/ CPAN-1.76/BUNDLE/Test/ CPAN-1.76/BUNDLE/Test/Builder.pm CPAN-1.76/BUNDLE/Test/More.pm CPAN-1.76/Todo CPAN-1.76/ChangeLog CPAN-1.76/Changes.old CPAN-1.76/Makefile.PL CPAN-1.76/README CPAN-1.76/SIGNATURE CPAN.pm: Going to build A/AN/ANDK/CPAN-1.76.tar.gz 'C:\My' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
