[Boston.pm] Need help with CPAN module

[Ron Newman]

I'm trying to use the CPAN shell to fetch and build a package,
but not having any luck. What am I doing wrong, and how do
I reconfigure my system to do it right?

cpan> make DBI
Running make for module DBI
Running make for T/TI/TIMB/DBI-1.32.tar.gz
Issuing "/usr/bin/ftp -n"
/usr/bin/ftp: No address associated with nodename
Not connected.
Local directory now /Users/rnewman/.cpan/sources/authors/id/T/TI/TIMB
