I attempted to access CPAN using Terminal (OS 10.2.6) by entering : perl -MCPAN -e shell
During the long q/a for the installation - I apparently answered one of the questions incorrectly by answering "yes" - NOW - attempting to install modules FAILS because it is looking for a "yes" directory that it can NOT find.
Any suggestions as to how I can reset CPAN
Start the CPAN shell and enter:
o conf init
That will repeat the question & answer session. Pay attention this time - nuff said about that.
Once you're done, enter:
o conf commit
I am trying to download MySQL components - Bundle::libnet, DBI and DBD:mysql
Be aware that DBD::mysql needs some additional hand-holding for its tests to pass, in the form of arguments that need to be supplied to "Makefile.PL". Have a look in the list archives if you haven't done so already.
