I haven't had a chance to investigate. I should mention what the problem is, in case someone else has a chance to look into it or is seeing the same thing. You can install a single module, and that usually works. But the next one you try to install in the same instance of CPAN won't: cpan> install CPAN Running make for A/AN/ANDK/CPAN-1.57.tar.gz Fetching with LWP: ftp://ftp.funet.fi/pub/languages/perl/CPAN/authors/id/A/AN/ANDK/CPAN-1.57.tar.gz Fetching with Net::FTP: ftp://ftp.funet.fi/pub/languages/perl/CPAN/authors/id/A/AN/ANDK/CPAN-1.57.tar.gz CPAN: MD5 loaded ok Fetching with LWP: ftp://ftp.funet.fi/pub/languages/perl/CPAN/authors/id/A/AN/ANDK/CHECKSUMS Fetching with LWP: ftp://ftp.funet.fi/pub/languages/perl/CPAN/authors/id/A/AN/ANDK/CHECKSUMS.gz Fetching with Net::FTP: ftp://ftp.funet.fi/pub/languages/perl/CPAN/authors/id/A/AN/ANDK/CHECKSUMS Checksum for Bunny:Applications:MacPerl Ÿ:.cpan:sources:authors:id:A:AN:ANDK:CPAN-1.57.tar.gz ok CPAN: Archive::Tar loaded ok LF->CR translate :CPAN-1.57:lib:CPAN:Nox.pm LF->CR translate :CPAN-1.57:lib:CPAN:FirstTime.pm LF->CR translate :CPAN-1.57:lib:Bundle:CPAN.pm LF->CR translate :CPAN-1.57:lib:CPAN.pm LF->CR translate :CPAN-1.57:Todo LF->CR translate :CPAN-1.57:ChangeLog LF->CR translate :CPAN-1.57:t:loadme.t LF->CR translate :CPAN-1.57:MANIFEST LF->CR translate :CPAN-1.57:Makefile.PL LF->CR translate :CPAN-1.57:cpan LF->CR translate :CPAN-1.57:README CPAN.pm: Going to build A/AN/ANDK/CPAN-1.57.tar.gz Checking if your kit is complete...

Also, I can't be sure that File::Spec is the culprit (that line in MM_Mac OS is right after an Archive::Tar::_munge_file call), but this problem seemed to start about the time I was trying and backing out the various File-Spec distributions that had 5.005'isms in them. > >> >>Thanks, >> >>-- >>Chris Nandor pudge@pobox.com http://pudge.net/ >>Open Source Development Network pudge@osdn.com http://osdn.com/ >> >># ===== Want to unsubscribe from this list? >># ===== Send mail with body "unsubscribe" to macperl-request@macperl.org > >-- >-- >Paul Schinder >schinder@pobox.com > ># ===== Want to unsubscribe from this list? ># ===== Send mail with body "unsubscribe" to macperl-request@macperl.org -- -- Paul Schinder schinder@pobox.com # ===== Want to unsubscribe from this list? # ===== Send mail with body "unsubscribe" to macperl-request@macperl.org
