Uma, The warnings from perl Makefile.pl look ominous, so i am not sure you should proceed. You can directly supply a URL to a CPAN mirror using the below. i am assuming you are doing this at the 'cpan' prompt. cpan> o conf urllist <yourChosenURL> For e.g., choose a URL from http://cpan.org/SITES.html Then, cpan> o conf urllist http://www.perl.com/CPAN/ i am not sure if Yahoo will convert the above into some hyperlinked text, so please type it out again or choose your own URL from the list of mirrors. Also, the prompt accepts commands of the form 'shift' or 'unshift' (its a data structure) to add and remove URLs to the list of URLs. You can basically experiment by doing cpan> o conf urllist shift <anotherURL> then, display the value of urllist by cpan> o conf urllist and so on, similarly for unshift. Don't worry, at any time, you can reset the value of urllist and start over! regards, krishnan ________________________________ From: Uma Mukkamala <uma.mukkamala@ril.com> To: koha@lists.katipo.co.nz Sent: Monday, 12 January, 2009 4:29:49 PM Subject: [Koha] Issues while installig Koha 3.00 on redhat 5.0 linux When i am installing CPAN i have given the Proxy but i am getting the following error Select your continent (or several nearby continents) [] 4 invalid items entered, try again I have entered 'ASIA' and 4 but this is not taking any option.
