[MacPerl] cpan-mac-0.40 trouble

[Axel Rose <rose@sj.com>]

Hi there,

I can't manage to get "CPAN-shell.plx" to work.
The cpan-mac-0.40 module was freshly installed.

I'll see a downloaded file "$HOME:.cpan:sources:MIRRORED.BY".
The droplet prompts me with a selection of possible continents

(1) Africa
(2) Asia
(3) Australasia
(4) Central America
(5) Europe
(6) North America
(7) South America
Select your continent (or several nearby continents) [] 5 6

But no matter what is input, just enter or any combination,
nothing happens. I could not oberserve an remote access activity.

When going into debug mode

  DB<1> b load Fressplatte:Programme:MacPerl Ÿ:site_perl:CPAN:FirstTime.pm
Will stop on load of `Fressplatte:Programme:MacPerl Ÿ:site_perl:CPAN:FirstTime.pm'.
  DB<2> r
'Fressplatte:Programme:MacPerl Ÿ:site_perl:CPAN:FirstTime.pm' loaded...
CPAN::Config::load(Fressplatte:Programme:MacPerl Ÿ:site_perl:CPAN:FirstTime.pm:19):
19:	$VERSION = substr q$Revision: 1.37 $, 10;

and stepping into the code I see as last observable code

  DB<7>
ExtUtils::MakeMaker::prompt((eval 6):26):
26:		chomp($ans = <STDIN>);


Can anybody help me?

I can live without it by http downloads but purely like to
have a proper installation.


Regards


Axel
