I enter the line "sudo perl -MCPAN -e 'install libwww-perl'" and things seem to go well for a while but then it gets stuck at:

Any ideas on where I go from here?
I get the same error, and also on Linux with 5.8.3 - it appears to be an error in the book. It's not mentioned in the errata listed on oreilly.com though. Maybe something's changed since the book was printed; it's not that old (Oct. '03), but it's possible, especially given the lead time for dead tree editions.
Installing Bundle::LWP works though - i.e. "perl -MCPAN -e 'install Bundle::LWP'".
