I am having a major problem with fink and cpan and my perl
installation. I'm not quite sure when it happened; I haven't installed
any modules in a long time. I wanted to set up two programs which
required some missing modules. I did install the
December 2002 Tools. When I went to install the software which requires
some Perl modules, I found that for whatever reason, when using
CPAN to attempt an install, it hangs on LWP::Agent's attempts to
download. I can download and install by hand easily. ncftpget works
greate with the same URLs that make CPAN using LWP::Agent hang.
I would like to get things back in synch. I'm not sure how they got
out of synch. Fink creates problems for me. I would prefer to just
have a list of all the perl modules I need to install and install
through CPAN so that everything would be in one place. Now I seem to
have somehow added in conflicting modules - version of the same
version of the same program - one through fink and one by hand, from
my attempts to render CPAN usable.
In an attempt to upgrade/update CPAN itself so it would work, I
downloaded and installed Compress-zlib, which CPAN had stopped while
trying to download. I've no idea why it didnt' see the fink installed
version.
Any ideas and or suggestions are appreciated.
