Hi Magnus,

I had already started looking into this option.  I have done as you said:

[root@lou ~]# perl -E 'say for @INC'
/usr/local/lib64/perl5
/usr/local/share/perl5
/usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl
/usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl
/usr/lib64/perl5
/usr/share/perl5
.
[root@lou ~]#echo $PERL5LIB

[root@lou ~]

I then amended my .bashrc to amend the two existing lines and added the 
PERL5LIB line:

PERL_MB_OPT="--install_base \"/usr/local/share/perl5\""; export PERL_MB_OPT;
PERL_MM_OPT="INSTALL_BASE=/usr/local/share/perl5"; export PERL_MM_OPT;
PERL5LIB="/usr/local/share/perl5"; export PERL5LIB;

I then logged out, back in, and checked everything looked good.  I then tried 
the new setup by using CPAN to 'install CPAN'. At the end I got 'OK' but when 
I tried to 'reload cpan' it still loaded 1.9800 when it should have installed 
2.6

[root@lou ~]# perl -E 'say for @INC'
/usr/local/share/perl5
/usr/local/lib64/perl5
/usr/local/share/perl5
/usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl
/usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl
/usr/lib64/perl5
/usr/share/perl5
.
[root@lou ~]# echo $PERL5LIB
/usr/local/share/perl5
[root@lou ~]# cpan

You should use cpan(m) for everything. That way all modules will be up
to date and they will be installed into the same place.

However,  as I went for bigger modules, anything that had dependences were
then failing as the dependencie were installed OK but then did not appear to
be available.


They are not failing; you are running cpan as root and the modules are
installed in /root/perl5/ which probably isn't in your @INC, which is
why they can't be found.

Try:

 $ perl -E 'say for @INC'
 $ echo $PERL5LIB
 # echo $PERL5LIB

I'd suggest to set the PERL5LIB environment variable in your shell
config to something like ~/lib/perl5/.

If you need the modules to be available globally and not only for a
specific user, a better place would be e.g /usr/lib/perl5/*

Re: CPAN not working, or is it?

[Bruce Ferrell]

Gary

What often happens when you have "larger" modules, they reply on libraries.  To 
build the perl module from source, you need to devel rpm of the library installed to link 
against.

example
libxml2-2.7.6-21.el6_8.1.x86_64
libxml2-devel-2.7.6-21.el6_8.1.x86_64

XML::Simple won't build unless the devel is present

CPAN isn't real good at reporting why the build failed, just that it failed.

What I've learned to  do when I have this sort of issue is to pop out of CPAN 
and into ~/.cpan/build.

Locate the unpacked module and try the build manually.

I get better errors that way.

In this day and age, seamless delegation is so trivial, but I was heartened
to read;

*"Update #1 (2018-05-19)*:  There's some confusion around whether or not
existing search.cpan.org URLs will continue to work.  They will!  The vast
majority of of them will be transparently served by MetaCPAN pages.  You do
not need to update any links right now."

Provided that eases away 95% of maintenance headaches, it seems sysadmins
and users all get to have our cake.

Perl  and Search.perl.org are not in need of replacement?

metacpan.org has some disadvantages compared with search.cpan.org, and 
some missing features, so it is not positive news for everybody.


Unlike search.cpan.org, metacpan doesn't use a heading for each record 
found, so it is much harder to navigate among the found results when 
using a screen reader.


Metacpan's interface is not as standard as search.cpan.org's 
interface. After searching something and the results are shown, it is 
less intuitive where begins the group of links for a record (module or 
distribution) and where it ends, especially that the number of links 
differ among different modules/distributions found.
If the interface is made intuitive just by using different colors for 
different things or by a special positioning on site, these things 
doesn't met the web accessibility guidelines, and are useless for the 
blind.


These disadvantages are there for many years, there is no contact data 
where they can be reported easy, the soft behind metacpan is open 
source so if somebody don't like something might be invited to make 
the improvements himself, with the efforts involved, and this while 
there is a more accessible solution already that don't need any effort 
to be used.
Plus that with its current non-intuitive interface where the results 
found are not similar, it could be even harder to do the necessary 
improvements. Which of the links in a result should appear as heading, 
so the screen reader users should be able to jump among easier? The 
distribution name appears in all results, but it is usually not very 
relevant. More relevant are the module names, but for each record 
there may be one or more modules displayed and it would be not good to 
mark them all as headings, because they all point to the same 
distribution.
On search.cpan.org it was a very good solution to be able to choose to 
display each module as a distinct record, or each distribution as a 
distinct record, depending on what you need.


In the pages that describe the modules, the text is badly formatted to 
look nicer just for the sighted, but it is hard to understand by the 
blind.


Here is how a description text appears like for screen readers:

package
link MyKwikiFormatter
;
use
link base

'link CGI::Kwiki::Formatter'
;

... while it should be looking like:

package MyKwikiFormatter;
use base 'CGI::Kwiki::Formatter';

This is because some parts of the text like module names appear as 
links, which are read by the screen reader as text on distinct lines, 
with the word "link" before them.


And there are also other smaller things that metacpan to look worse, 
for example for the  elements for NAME, DESCRIPTION  etc, instead 
to appear just a single time as links in a level 1 heading, they 
appear twice and they are read like:


#NAME
NAME

even if I don't know why, because #NAME appears just as a value of the 
href attribute, but who knows what are doing the JS and CSS code...

Just to clear things up – CPAN is NOT shutting down!

The website http://search.cpan.org/ is being *replaced* by 
http://search.mcpan.org/ -  the rest of the cpan subdomains (such as 
pause.cpan.org) are not being touched.

1) Please don’t cross-post between this list and other lists. It’s rude.

2) It’s not “shutting down” so much as it is being replaced by the existing 
MetaCPAN search site. This is positive news about the future of Perl: an older, 
less capable tool has been replaced, and is being shutdown and transitioned to 
its replacement in an orderly fashion. This is what a healthy programming

Which of the links in a result should appear as heading, so the screen 
reader users should be able to jump among easier? The distribution name 
appears in all results, but it is usually not very relevant. More relevant 
are the module names, but for each record there may be one or more modules 
displayed and it would be not good to mark them all as headings, because 
they all point to the same distribution.
On search.cpan.org it was a very good solution to be able to choose to 
display each module as a distinct record, or each distribution as a distinct 
record, depending on what you need.


In the pages that describe the modules, the text is badly formatted to look 
nicer just for the sighted, but it is hard to understand by the blind.


Here is how a description text appears like for screen readers:

package
link MyKwikiFormatter
;
use
link base

'link CGI::Kwiki::Formatter'
;

... while it should be looking like:

package MyKwikiFormatter;
use base 'CGI::Kwiki::Formatter';

This is because some parts of the text like module names appear as links, 
which are read by the screen reader as text on distinct lines, with the word 
"link" before them.


And there are also other smaller things that metacpan to look worse, for 
example for the  elements for NAME, DESCRIPTION  etc, instead to appear 
just a single time as links in a level 1 heading, they appear twice and they 
are read like:


#NAME
NAME

even if I don't know why, because #NAME appears just as a value of the href 
attribute, but who knows what are doing the JS and CSS code...

1) Please don’t cross-post between this list and other lists. It’s rude. 

2) It’s not “shutting down” so much as it is being replaced by the existing 
MetaCPAN search site. This is positive news about the future of Perl: an older, 
less capable tool has been replaced, and is being shutdown and transitioned to

Just a note - http://www.cpan.org/ (to which http://cpan.org/ redirects) and
ftp://ftp.cpan.org/ are perfectly fine - it is search.cpan.org that is down
(and this, unfortunately, is what the search box on www.cpan.org is using). Like

Better, but unfortunately not for everybody.
I checked a few CPAN mirrors but all seem to send the search queries to 
search.cpan.org, so they are not very helpful either.
It is strange that those servers are mirrors, so they have all the modules, but 
they need to search using search.cpan.org.

I would recommend using http://metacpan.org

And for installing modules, you could try cpanminus:

curl -L http://cpanmin.us | perl - --sudo App::cpanminu

Ah, well, in general, Strawberry Perl is more recommended for using on Windows:

http://perl-begin.org/platforms/windows/

(*Note* that perl-begin.org is a site I originated and maintain). 

Currently, the page also mentions DWIM Perl, but last time I checked it was out
of date (only has perl-5.14.2).

I never used the "make" command in the CPAN shell, and don't know what it does.
You can try using "install List::AllUtils" instead (which may work better in
Strawberry Perl) or you can try installing this module using ActivePerl’s ppm
utility.

You can test this by using a tool like wget, curl or even telnet to try and
connect to the strawberry perl site from the command line.  It does look
like there's nothing Perl-ish wrong but network.

# wget http://cpan.strawberryperl.com/
[connect and download index.html page]

# telnet cpan.strawberryperl.com 80

Hmm, from that result [1] appears cpan.strawberryperl is down, temporarily.

It is strange that the reported error is a "bad hostname". Of course
name resolution is working fine, since the browser works. It could be
a proxy problem, and I should try defining the http_proxy variable (if
it works too for cpanm).
You can also verify if your proxy (assuming there's one) is blocking
non browser request using telnet:
telnet cpan.strawberryperl.com 80
and see if you get connected. In the case it is the proxy blocking non
browser request you can ask your network admin to add the LWP user
agent to the white list (libwww-perl/#.###).  Otherwise there could be
a way of setting permanently the lwp::useragent product id to fake the
proxy.

Hope this helps.

Rohit,

You might be behind a firewall which blocks http or https requests originating 
from non browsers. This type of blocking will be typically be categorized into 
Dos attack (denial-of-service attack). Your network administrator can 
temporarily grant you access.

In our environment we encountered this type of problems during EPIC 
installation (Eclipse Perl Integration) with Eclipse IDE. We tried to install 
the software updates through Eclipse <http://e-p-i-c.sf.net/updates/testing> 
which is not a browser technically and it wasn't going through, and then we 
resolved the issues with help from our network team.

Hope it helps.
 
best,
Shaji

Re: cpan App::cpanminus

Yes, I am able to connect http://strawberryperl.com from chrome browser.
Even I have downloaded 01mailrc.txt.gz using
http://cpan.strawberryperl.com/authors/01mailrc.txt.gz through browser.

But still I am facing the same problem.

Just did. Like you mentioned, one of the dependencies, Text::Quote,
failed to install. I checked the build log and saw this:

#   Failed test 'Quote Regexp'
#   at t/quote.t line 80.
#  got: 'qr/(?^:ABCDEF)/'
# expected: 'qr/ABCDEF/'
# Looks like you failed 1 test of 52.
t/quote.t ..
Dubious, test returned 1 (wstat 256, 0x100)
Failed 1/52 subtests

That's broken because of a change in how regexen are serialized in
5.14+, but because not everyone might now that, I checked the module's
bug tracker, and there's a similar explanation there. So the failure
looks more like overzealous testing, rather than anything being
particularly broken in the module.
Going from that, it seemed pretty harmless to force the installation,
after which AI::Prolog installed without a hitch.

$ cpanm AI::Prolog
$ cpanm -f Text::Quote
$ cpanm AI::Prolog

> What is the percentage rate of successful installations from CPAN to

Dunno. My experience has been pretty good -- generally used modules
are maintained an just work, and unless the module has C bindings,
they are generally pretty resistant to changes in Perl.

> Is CPAN a going concern?

Sure. IIRC half of it is actively maintained (i.e. commits within the
year), and all of it is routinely tested against several versions of
Perl & different environments.

Based on the CPAN testers information in the sidebar of
https://metacpan.org/module/AI::Prolog, it's been successfully
installed at least 154 times -- because it's passed tests that many
times.

> What is the percentage rate of successful installations from CPAN to

Looks like 100% successful -- there are no test failurse.

> Is CPAN a going concern?

Yes, very much so.

Now, to return to your problem, what did you actually do, and what
error message(s) did you get?

Hi.

Yeah, I ended up setting up an alias in my .bash_profile as so:

alias cpan=’sudo /usr/local/bin/perl -MCPAN -e shell’

& all’s working swimmingly.

You can do «/usr/local/bin/perl -MCPAN -e 'shell'» or a different CPAN.pm (or

I think I’ll use this method then. Seems like a far more uncomplicated process.

Yes, this is a good solution.

Or run /usr/local/bin/cpan.

Or put /usr/local/bin early on your path so that a plain "perl" or
"cpan" will pick up the /usr/local/bin versions.  Just be careful that
you don't inadvertently call some other program in /usr/local/bin now
having different behaviour to what would otherwise have been called.

Hi, Shawn.

From the Googling I did concerning this, I came across perlbrew 
& bootstrapping using local::lib but wondered if there was a 
simpler solution.


What’s your opinion on hard-pathing to CPAN a la `$ 
/usr/local/bin/perl -MCPAN -e shell’ in order to use the CPAN 
that’s installed there to install modules in /usr/local/ so 
that I can use them with the perl-5.14.2 that resides there? If 
it’s feasible, one quick alias & it’d be easy.

Hello Emeka,

cpan> install Tk
should work as Praga and Jim mentioned, but if you don't have a C complier
and a make utility installed, your installation will evetually fail. Tkx
module may be installed, but not Tk.

a.) Try this below on your cmd, you should have Tk module installed.
ppm install http://www.bribes.org/perl/ppm/Tk.ppd

You need to let us know what exactly what went wrong when you tried to
install the Tk module. It is next to impossible, otherwise.

However, in this case, I can tell you that case matters, so try installing
the "Tk" module:

cpan> install Tk

Then if that does not work, cut and past the relevant error messages into a
message.

Thanks. Good luck!

That's because they're not in Perl's @INC path.

Please use local::lib for that:

Did you check to see if it was actually installed?  The above looks like 
it succesfully ran "make install", and then for some reason ran "make

What do those commands do? Is $ perl -MCPAN -e shell different from $ cpan?

I tried

$ perl -MCPAN -e shell
cpan> install CPAN

and it failed on a test, so I repeated it grabbing output:

$ perl -MCPAN -e shell 2>&1 | tee output.txt
cpan> install CPAN

output is here:
http://www.doc.ic.ac.uk/~pgp/output.txt

As you can see, it asked for Test::Harness which I supplied. I guess
it builds ok?

It then goes back to CPAN where it fails on t/30shell.t where it times
out. Apparently this is on i[206]prog[r] whatever that means.

I had a look in the pod for t/30shell.t and poked around looking at
the testcases but I'm not sure why it's failing. What do you think?

In fact, I performed the install via the CPAN shell on FreeBSD 7.2
successfully just now as a test ("install Bundle::CPAN").

Perhaps you could try:

% perl -MCPAN -e shell
% cpan> install CPAN
% cpan> o conf commit

Be advised that even though that seemed to work ok on a test box, I
don't know the complete ramifications.

cpan[1]> force install HTML::HTMLDoc




The output you posted, seems not to be the output from your first attempt.

These are the first two sentences in the DESCRIPTION section of the 
HTML::HTMLDoc POD:
"This Module provides an OO-interface to the htmldoc programm. To 
install this module you have to install the htmldoc program first."


I can't tell if that's the reason why the install failed the first time, 
but have you installed the htmldoc program?


To retry, I believe you first need to remove the 
HTML-HTMLDoc-0.10-8rfFZS directory.

Fair enough, just looking at this Ubuntu pakage system, I see there is
a liubaudio-file-perl

Perl audio file abstraction library
Audio::File abstracts a single audio file, independent of its format.
Using this module you can access a files meta-info like title, album,
etc. as well as the files audio-properties like its length and bitrate.


Might be better to just install the prepackaged program?

My guess is that you are missing a header file.

If you are using a distribution based system, look for something like
libogg-dev or/and libvorbis-dev

This is something I haven't noticed before:

  > perl -MCPAN -MO=Deparse -e "install Digest::MD5"
  install('Digest::MD5');
  -e syntax OK

  > perl -MCPAN -MO=Deparse -e "install Archive::Zip"
  'Archive::Zip'->install;
  -e syntax OK


The problem is that the CPAN module loads Archive::Zip itself, so that Perl then
recognizes the module name as a class instead of a simple bareword.

The easiest fix is to force the semantics by using parentheses:

  > perl -MCPAN -MO=Deparse -e "install(Digest::MD5)"

and

  > perl -MCPAN -MO=Deparse -e "install(Archive::Zip)"


both of which will work fine.

HTH,

Rob

no matter I use single or double quote (on Linux), both does not

what I want to do is issue the commands in a sh for job automation. I

Since you're using double quotes, I assume that you're on Windows.  I
suspect it has something to do with the way cmd is parsing the command
before passing it to perl.

If you enter the cpan shell and then issue install command, you can
avoid this problem.

e.g.,
this doesn't work, as you already know
C:\test>perl -MCPAN -e "install Archive::Zip"
Can't locate object method "install" via package "Archive::Zip" at -e
line 1.

this does work
C:\test>perl -MCPAN -e shell

Hmm, it looks like it is trying to use an indirect object method call
(that is it is trying to do this Archive::Zip->install() instead of
CPAN::install("Archive::Zip")).  I wouldn't worry about it if I were
you, I would just use the new(ish) cpan command instead:

cpan Archive::Zip

This does the same thing

perl -MCPAN -e "install Archive:Zip"

should do.

Re: cpan module installation on Mac OS Leopard

[WetMogwai]

Find ran for hours without finding those, but I found a partial
solution. If you open the CPAN shell and type:

o conf makepl_arg install_base=

it will install working modules. This is a partial solution because it
has to be done with each session. It doesn't work to run cpan non-
interactively. It forgets this setting when the CPAN shell is closed.
I have not yet found where it gets the default value for this
variable.

Now, I'm off on a search to find why I get an error from Growl.pm on a
variable that it is getting from itself, but that's a topic for a
different thread.

Look into perl directory you have installed in your computer, There must be a 
directory with the modules installed called pm, ppm or something similar. You 
can copy the .pm files of the module you want to install to that directory 
too.

Re: cpan or perl -MCPAN ?

[LesleyB]

Thanks for the reply Yitze.

I simply wondered whether there was any benefit.  I haven't yet tried
the perl -MCPAN approach but have spent most of the day in cpan.  I
would expect to see perl -MCPAN in an anutomated approach somewhere I
guess.

I have successfully updated some modules locally using cpan but some
won't update e.g. due to being the 5.10 version and I'm on debian etch
with 5.8.8 still.  That indicates to me that either cpan or the module
writer doesn't accomodate the different perl distros automagically
i.e. try to find the latest in 5.8.8 rather than attempt a 5.10
download or have the module be graceful about the different
versions.

I had some fail to upgrade for other reasons - typically failures to
compile using the version of gcc installed - or other things missing
outside of what cpan can cope with.

I have at least updated those I actually wanted to update. :)

For anyone curious I found these techniques useful - start cpan from
the command line and type in r.  You'll get a list of installed
modules for which there are updates.  You can also upgrade all these
by entering upgrade on its own or upgrade  to upgrade a
specific module.

Regards

Lesley

The cpan script was added in Perl 5.8.1.  It is a command line
interface to the CPAN module, so it is not significantly different
from perl -MCPAN -e ''.

Modules are not stored by Perl version, they are stored by their own
versions, so you get the latest version if you do not specify a
specific version by using the relative path to the tar ball on the
CPAN mirror.

This installs Version 0.02:
perl -MCPAN -e 'install Acme::Lisp'

This installs Version 0.01:
perl -MCPAN -e 'install AMBS/Acme/Acme-Lisp-0.01'

Very few (if any) modules use the new features of Perl 5.10.  In fact,
many modules are designed to work with versions of Perl all the way
back to version 5.005 (aka 5.5) which was last released back in 1999.
If you are worried about whether a given module is well supported with
your version of Perl on your Platform, you can always go to the
module's CPAN page and click on "Perl/Platform Version Matrix".

Re: cpan or perl -MCPAN ?

I'm just guessing here, but I'm going to suggest that both methods
ultimately call the same code and are therefore equivalent. Though the
cpan command takes arguments, so it might speed stuff up.

But on the other hand if you really don't like make test,you can force
to make install it.

Yes.If the module installed on the host is already the newest
version,cpan shell does't re-install it.

Start up your cpan shell, and type:
o conf prerequisites_policy follow
o conf commit

That will tell cpan to go ahead and just download whatever modules it
needs in order to install the module you're trying to install.

When installing modules it sometimes ask if you want additional modules as

When you run the cpan set up command, it will ask you if you're "ready
for manual configuration".  Say no.  That will cause it to use the

It looks like Net::Netrc is working:
# perl -MNet::Netrc -lwe 'print join(" ",
Net::Netrc->lookup("MyCpanMirror")->lpa)'
Use of uninitialized value in join or string at -e line 1.
cpan XpasswdX 

I've also tested Net::FTP separately, and it works as advertised with
.netrc.

As it turns out, if I wait patiently for all the LWP/Net::FTP timeouts,
eventually CPAN resorts to /usr/bin/ftp which does read my .netrc. My
modules do eventually get installed but not w/o several admonitions that
using /usr/bin/ftp may cause "...problems that are hard to diagnose"

I'm not sure where else to go with this. It looks like I can eventually
get what I need installed, but not without a long bumpy ride first.

Thanks for the feedback.

I'm trying to use the CPAN shell to install some modules from our

I'm using a URL of the form ftp://MyCpanMirror/u02/CPAN/ , and I have a

At first I was able to query/install modules easily, but then I did an
"install Bundle::CPAN", and now I can't log into my CPAN mirror. To be
specific, LWP and Net::FTP are attempting to use an anonymous login,
which is not allowed, instead of trying to log in via the user
information contained in .netrc.


Sounds like somebody goofed, and assumed that all CPAN mirrors allow
anonymous access. You probably need to file a bug report, but let's
see how far we can get first.

It's undocumented, but maybe try this:

 BEGIN { $CPAN::DEBUG = 512; } # FTP?


I've read the docs for CPAN, LWP::UserAgent, and Net::FTP, but I don't
see how to change this behavior. I was under the impression that if a
.netrc was available, Net::FTP at least, would use it for
authentication.


That's my impression as well. Does Net::Netrc work for you from the
command line, maybe something like this?

 perl -MNet::Netrc -lwe 'print join " ",
Net::Netrc->lookup("MyCpanMirror")->lpa'

If you're still able to use the ftp command to manually log in to your
mirror, you should be able to configure CPAN to use that, as a
workaround. I say you should, but I don't know how tenaciously it may
try to use Net::FTP (or whatever is broken) instead.

Good luck with it!

Go to your Start Menu->Programs, select ActiveState ActivePerl, then
Documentation.  Now on the left hand frame, scroll down until you find
"perlmodinstall".  That document details how to install modules, for
various operating systems, including Windows.

In summary: if the module has an ActiveState distrobution, use it.
Fire up the included 'ppm' utility and just grab the module that way.
If not,  you'll have to get yourself a copy of 'nmake', and depending
on the module you want to install, possibly a C compiler.  More
information about how and where to get these are available in that
document I mentioned above.

ActivePerl come with a PPM (Perl Package Manager). You can access the
PPM by typing 'ppm' in the cmd or find the link in the Start->All
Programs Menu->ActivePerl.  Once the PPM window appears, just search
for the module you're looking for. Replace the :: in Module names with
- e.g. Net::FTP becomes Net-FTP.

It looks like ActiveState does not have this module prepackaged.  If
you pay for support you may be able to get them to package it for you;
however, it is a pure Perl module so you can install it yourself
manually or using CPAN.

To install with CPAN run the following:

perl -MCPAN -e "install File::Tail"

and answer any questions it asks you.

To install manually download these two files
The module:
http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/M/MG/MGRABNAR/File-Tail-0.99.3.tar.gz

a make utility for Microsoft OSes
http://download.microsoft.com/download/vc15/patch/1.52/w95/en-us/nmake15.exe

* Decompress nmake15.exe
* put nmake.exe in a directory in your path (C:\windows\system32 is good)
* Decompress File-Tail-0.99.3.tar.gz (winzip can handle tarballs)
* change directory into the resulting directory and type "perl
Makefile.PL".  This will create the makefiles that nmake will use test
and install the module
* type "nmake".  This will build the installation directory and create
the documentation
* type "nmake test".  This will run any tests the Module author has
written to make sure the module works.
* type "nmake install".  This will install the module in your Perl library.

Yeah, that means that you can upgrade Bundle::CPAN and make the

That's worth mentioning because CPAN.pm, who is running the shell, is  
already loaded into the interpreter, so a change in the .pms in the

Of course, as with any other distribution you can just upgrade

It looks as if you need to install the Crypt::DH module, which is
available on CPAN. But installing Bundle::SSH should give you
everything you need for SSH, including Crypt::DH. Does installing the
bundle fix anything?

Well, it tries. But it's not a perfect system, and it will always be
possible to install a module without all of its prerequisites. That's
part of the reason for the bundles, in fact.

Good luck with it!

RE: CPAN module for file upload/download

[Dhanashri Bhate]

Thanks a million Chris!
I could use this module very well for the "file upload" part!
Now working on the file download, which is giving me some trouble...
I'm trying it on Windows, with Active Perl 5.8.7, and when I run the program
to download a file using this, my computer just starts beeping loudly :(
Anyway... I'm still trying :)

I have a question! 
For this module, are there know known compatibility issues with older
versions of Perl? (I'm using 5.8.7).

Thanks again!

Dhanashri

Take a look at WWW::Mechanize.

Possibly you are being blocked by a firewall. Try setting the
environment variable FTP_PASSIVE, e.g.:
In (t)c-shell:
  setenv FTP_PASSIVE 1 
In (ba)sh:
   export FTP_PASSIVE=1

If this doesn't work, make sure that in CPAN/Config.pm, the various
ftp program options are blanks:
  'ftp' => q[],
  'ftp_proxy' => q[],
  'ncftp' => q[],
  'ncftpget' => q[],

and that you have LWP installed, so that CPAN uses LWP::UserAgent
instead. Now your ftp addresses should work fine.
