2009-04-23 Thread Meir Yanovich
Hello all

Warning: Cannot install HTML::SimpleLinkExtor, don't know what it is.
Try the command

to find objects with matching identifiers.
-

It sounds like you have a bad list of CPAN mirrors.  Type

perl -MCPAN -e shell

then at the prompt you get type

o conf urllist

This will list the places your version of CPAN is looking
for the module in.  You might also try

o conf urllist = http://cpan.glines.org/CPAN/ http://cpan.mirrorgeek.com

which will set the list of mirrors to the same ones I use.
