[MacPerl-Modules] cpan-mac and Bundle::CPAN 1.51 problems

["Jefferson R. Lowrey" <lowrey@mailbag.com>]

I wanted to Get Some Work Done this weekend.  Much to my chagrin, I
realized that my home MacPerl folder was a basic MacPerl install, without
cpan-mac or Bundle::CPAN (and without several of the modules that I wanted
to Get Some Work Done With).

So I downloaded cpan-mac.latest, and tried to get up to speed.  I ran into
several problems.  I'm currently trying to duplicate them here at work.

What I'm running into right now is:
# Could not gzopen :.cpan:sources:authors:id:PMQS:Compress-Zlib-1.07.tar.gz=
.
File 'Jeff-HD:Jeff:MacPerl =9F:site_perl:CPAN.pm'; Line 4207

# Could not gzopen :.cpan:sources:authors:id:GBARR:Bundle-libnet-1.00.tar.g=
z.
File 'Jeff-HD:Jeff:MacPerl =9F:site_perl:CPAN.pm'; Line 4207

# Could not gzopen :.cpan:sources:authors:id:GBARR:libnet-1.0607.tar.gz.
File 'Jeff-HD:Jeff:MacPerl =9F:site_perl:CPAN.pm'; Line 4207

I've done an installme install of the files that were left in my .cpan, and
they worked fine. At home, I was getting errors along the lines of "Cannot
chdir to .cpan:folder:folder:module as it is not a folder" when dropping
the .tar.gz file on installme (after unpacking).  Dropping the unpacked
folder finished the installation.

At this point, having installed the above modules, I get:
# No such signal: SIGPIPE.
File 'Jeff-HD:Jeff:MacPerl =9F:site_perl:Net:Cmd.pm'; Line 169
# No such signal: SIGPIPE.
File 'Jeff-HD:Jeff:MacPerl =9F:site_perl:Net:Cmd.pm'; Line 167
a bunch of times and then

# Could not gzopen :.cpan:sources:authors:id:KJALB:TermReadKey-2.14.tar.gz.
File 'Jeff-HD:Jeff:MacPerl =9F:site_perl:CPAN.pm'; Line 4207

So I install that.  After yet again launching cpan-shell and
install Bundle::CPAN
I get a whole bunch of No Such Signals and

# Could not open >:.cpan:build:ILYAZ000:Makefile.PL
File 'Jeff-HD:Jeff:MacPerl =9F:site_perl:CPAN.pm'; Line 4054

So, now I drop the .tar.gz for Term-ReadLine and get
# Can't chdir Jeff-HD:Jeff:MacPerl
=9F:scripts:.cpan:sources:authors:id:ILYAZ:modules:Term-ReadLine-Perl-0.990=
:
No such file or directory

Which is exactly the error I was getting at home.  As at home, if I drop
the unpacked folder on installme, no problems.

And now for the *real* problem.  After all these installs, when I relaunch
cpan-shell to try and finish installing Bundle::CPAN 1.51 I get:
cpan shell -- CPAN exploration and modules installation (v1.50)
ReadLine support enabled

# Can't ioctl TIOCGETP: Operation not supported on socket
Consider installing Term::ReadKey from CPAN site nearby
=09at http://www.perl.com/CPAN
Or use
=09perl -MCPAN -e shell
to reach CPAN. Falling back to 'stty'.
=09If you do not want to see this warning, set PERL_READLINE_NOWARN
in your environment.
cpan> # Use of uninitialized value.

# Use of uninitialized value.
File 'Jeff-HD:Jeff:MacPerl =9F:site_perl:Term:ReadLine:readline.pm'; Line 9=
73

And boy do I get a lot of the use of unitialized values.  With associated
beeping.  I don't have the patience to sit through them to see if they ever
stop.

Anyone want to confirm or deny this?  Any help?
