For all those having problems with CPAN module installs, there is one (rather odd) solution that has worked for me. Log in as root $ su - # cd ~/.cpan/build If this gives you an error, try changing instead to the home directory of the user that did the install: # cd /home/myusername/.cpan/build # ls -l Change to the directory of the package in question (using ZOOM as an example, the directory name should be similar but will be different) # cd Net-Z3950-ZOOM-1.21-s1Kt5N # make # make install In many cases, doing this when the cpan tool absolutely refused to work helped enormously. Good luck to you all, -- Jesse
