Granted that it means I don't have cpan.pm module, how come it didn't
come w/ it by default or did I do something wrong?
also, searching for CPAN.pm on cpan.org comes up w/ nothing.. can
someone let me know please?

Is this a clean install of Fedora? I'm puzzled by all the mentions of Perl 5.8
here, and wonder if your Perl installation is intact.
You could try downloading CPAN and installing it manually. You can download the
latest version here
http://search.cpan.org/~andk/CPAN/lib/CPAN.pm
and read about manual installation in
perldoc perlmodinstall
HTH,
Rob
Perhaps, it wasn't a clean install after all, I will have to do it
again(it did have previous older fedora and I just installed them
blindly(while at work, just pressed
next next next...).
but I was able to install CPAN.pm and it is working but perhaps I will
reinstall them.
I have personal linux station at work but i am installing them over 2
laptop and another pc at work to really push myself to linux world(and perl)
thanks!! (will read perlmodinstall )
