That definitely did the trick. You might want to make mention of this either
on one of the related mmp pages, or in the cpan-mac 0.50 readme in case
someone (like me) goes and updates libnet or something :D

there's only the one line that needs the comment; once that was done, no
more warnings. This is with latest libwww-perl and libnet installed, and
CPAN.pm 1.59 as well (which seems to work fine, with the ported Storable.pm
on mmp/ 

in fact, I can therefore recommend using CPAN.pm 1.59 (which will need a few
(roughly 12) "ambiguous use of BLAH" warnings quoted as 'BLAH' in the file
for use with MacPerl 520r4) and also Storable.pm as included with an update
to cpan-mac ... The Storable Metadata file speeds things up considerably,
and is enormously useful in other ways.

releasing these as cpan-mac-0.51 or similar, seems like a reasonable
suggestion to make at this point.

ok. Thanks again for the follow-up. :)
