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
