Dear List members,<br>
i am getting fallowing error during cpan installtion,<br>
<br>
root@shriram-home:~# cpan<br>
We have to reconfigure CPAN.pm due to following uninitialized parameters:<br>
<br>
cpan_home, keep_source_where, build_dir, build_cache, scan_cache,<br>
index_expire, gzip, tar, unzip, make, pager, makepl_arg, make_arg,<br>
make_install_arg, urllist, inhibit_startup_message, ftp_proxy,<br>
http_proxy, no_proxy, prerequisites_policy, cache_metadata<br>
<br>
/etc/perl/CPAN/Config.pm initialized.<br>
<br>
<br>
CPAN is the world-wide archive of perl resources. It consists of about<br>
100 sites that all replicate the same contents all around the globe.<br>
Many countries have at least one CPAN site already. The resources<br>
found on CPAN are easily accessible with the CPAN.pm module. If you<br>
want to use CPAN.pm, you have to configure it properly.<br>
<br>
If you do not want to enter a dialog now, you can answer 'no' to this<br>
question and I'll try to autoconfigure. (Note: you can revisit this<br>
dialog anytime later by typing 'o conf init' at the cpan prompt.)<br>
<br>
Are you ready for manual configuration? [yes]<br>
<br>
<br>
The following questions are intended to help you with the<br>
configuration. The CPAN module needs a directory of its own to cache<br>
important index files and maybe keep a temporary mirror of CPAN files.<br>
This may be a site-wide directory or a personal directory.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
I see you already have a directory<br>
/root/.cpan<br>
Shall we use it as the general CPAN build and cache directory?<br>
<br>
CPAN build and cache directory? [/root/.cpan]<br>
<br>
<br>
If you want, I can keep the source files after a build in the cpan<br>
home directory. If you choose so then future builds will take the<br>
files from there. If you don't want to keep them, answer 0 to the<br>
next question.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
How big should the disk cache be for keeping the build directories<br>
with all the intermediate files?<br>
<br>
Cache size for build directory (in MB)? [10]<br>
<br>
<br>
By default, each time the CPAN module is started, cache scanning<br>
is performed to keep the cache size in sync. To prevent from this,<br>
disable the cache scanning with 'never'.<br>
<br>
Perform cache scanning (atstart or never)? [atstart]<br>
<br>
<br>
To considerably speed up the initial CPAN shell startup, it is<br>
possible to use Storable to create a cache of metadata. If Storable<br>
is not available, the normal index mechanism will be used.<br>
<br>
Cache metadata (yes/no)? [yes]<br>
<br>
<br>
The next option deals with the charset your terminal supports. In<br>
general CPAN is English speaking territory, thus the charset does not<br>
matter much, but some of the aliens out there who upload their<br>
software to CPAN bear names that are outside the ASCII range. If your<br>
terminal supports UTF-8, you say no to the next question, if it<br>
supports ISO-8859-1 (also known as LATIN1) then you say yes, and if it<br>
supports neither nor, your answer does not matter, you will not be<br>
able to read the names of some authors anyway. If you answer no, names<br>
will be output in UTF-8.<br>
<br>
Your terminal expects ISO-8859-1 (yes/no)? [yes]<br>
<br>
<br>
If you have one of the readline packages (Term::ReadLine::Perl,<br>
Term::ReadLine::Gnu, possibly others) installed, the interactive CPAN<br>
shell will have history support. The next two questions deal with the<br>
filename of the history file and with its size. If you do not want to<br>
set this variable, please hit SPACE RETURN to the following question.<br>
<br>
File to save your history? [/root/.cpan/histfile]<br>
Number of lines to save? [100]<br>
<br>
<br>
The CPAN module can detect when a module that which you are trying to<br>
build depends on prerequisites. If this happens, it can build the<br>
prerequisites for you automatically ('follow'), ask you for<br>
confirmation ('ask'), or just ignore them ('ignore'). Please set your<br>
policy to one of the three values.<br>
<br>
Policy on building prerequisites (follow, ask or ignore)? [ask]<br>
<br>
<br>
The CPAN module will need a few external programs to work properly.<br>
Please correct me, if I guess the wrong path for a program. Don't<br>
panic if you do not have some of them, just press ENTER for those. To<br>
disable the use of a download program, you can type a space followed<br>
by ENTER.<br>
<br>
Where is your gzip program? [/bin/gzip]<br>
Where is your tar program? [/bin/tar]<br>
Where is your unzip program? [/usr/bin/unzip]<br>
Where is your make program? [/usr/bin/make]<br>
Warning: lynx not found in PATH<br>
Where is your lynx program? [] /usr/bin/<br>
Where is your wget program? [/usr/bin/wget]<br>
Warning: ncftpget not found in PATH<br>
Where is your ncftpget program? [] /usr/bin/ncftpget<br>
Where is your ftp program? [/usr/bin/ftp]<br>
Where is your gpg program? [/usr/bin/gpg]<br>
What is your favorite pager program? [/usr/bin/less]<br>
What is your favorite shell? [/bin/bash]<br>
<br>
<br>
Every Makefile.PL is run by perl in a separate process. Likewise we<br>
run 'make' and 'make install' in processes. If you have any<br>
parameters (e.g. PREFIX, LIB, UNINST or the like) you want to pass<br>
to the calls, please specify them here.<br>
<br>
If you don't understand this question, just press ENTER.<br>
<br>
Parameters for the 'perl Makefile.PL' command?<br>
Typical frequently used settings:<br>
<br>
PREFIX=~/perl non-root users (please see manual for more hints)<br>
<br>
Your choice: [INSTALLDIRS=site]<br>
Parameters for the 'make' command?<br>
Typical frequently used setting:<br>
<br>
-j3 dual processor system<br>
<br>
Your choice: []<br>
Parameters for the 'make install' command?<br>
Typical frequently used setting:<br>
<br>
UNINST=1 to always uninstall potentially conflicting files<br>
<br>
Your choice: []<br>
<br>
<br>
Sometimes you may wish to leave the processes run by CPAN alone<br>
without caring about them. As sometimes the Makefile.PL contains<br>
question you're expected to answer, you can set a timer that will<br>
kill a 'perl Makefile.PL' process after the specified time in seconds.<br>
<br>
If you set this value to 0, these processes will wait forever. This is<br>
the default and recommended setting.<br>
<br>
Timeout for inactivity during Makefile.PL? [0]<br>
<br>
<br>
If you're accessing the net via proxies, you can specify them in the<br>
CPAN configuration or via environment variables. The variable in<br>
the $CPAN::Config takes precedence.<br>
<br>
Your ftp_proxy? <a href="http://proxy2.lnmiit.ac.in" target="_blank">proxy2.lnmiit.ac.in</a><br>
Your http_proxy? [<a href="http://proxy2.lnmiit.ac.in:3128/" target="_blank">http://proxy2.lnmiit.ac.in:3128/</a>]<br>
Your no_proxy? localhost, <a href="http://127.0.0.1" target="_blank">127.0.0.1</a>,<a href="http://172.22.10.1" target="_blank">172.22.10.1</a><br>
<br>
<br>
If your proxy is an authenticating proxy, you can store your username<br>
permanently. If you do not want that, just press RETURN. You will then<br>
be asked for your username in every future session.<br>
<br>
Your proxy user id? 3128<br>
<br>
<br>
Your password for the authenticating proxy can also be stored<br>
permanently on disk. If this violates your security policy, just press<br>
RETURN. You will then be asked for the password in every future<br>
session.<br>
