Greetings, I just did an upgrade on etch and got perl 5.8.8 and when I do cpan -v I get
/usr/local/bin/cpan script version 1.9, CPAN.pm version 1.9102 When I try to run cpan by any method, ie. either just cpan or perl -MCPAN -e shell I get the following: - - - - - - - - - - - - CPAN: Storable loaded ok (v2.16) CPAN: LWP::UserAgent loaded ok (v2.036) CPAN: Time::HiRes loaded ok (v1.9707) Fetching with LWP: ftp://cpan.netnitco.net/pub/mirrors/CPAN/authors/01mailrc.txt.gz LWP failed with code[500] message[Can't locate object method "configure" via package "Net::HTTP"] CPAN: Net::FTP loaded ok (v2.77) Fetching with Net::FTP: ftp://cpan.netnitco.net/pub/mirrors/CPAN/authors/01mailrc.txt.gz Catching error: 'Can't locate object method "new" via package "Net::FTP" at /usr/local/share/perl/5.8.8/Net/FTP.pm line 74.

I tried installing some of the modules it was having problems with but can't do that either. Same result. Any ideas how to get out of this "Catch 22"? Many TIA!
