        The module install fails. It says you need a newer CPAN. CPAN
has told you how to (and recommended you do so) upgrade when you started it.

  There's a new CPAN.pm version (v1.9101) available!
  [Current version is v1.7601]
  You might want to try
    install Bundle::CPAN
    reload cpan

        Sound familiar? What else is there to communicate?

        Austin
