Thanks for the report.. i've been trying to track this down for a while; it's due to the fact that your mirror has some broken/conflicting checksums. If you switch your mirror to another one than pair, it *should* work... in the meantime, i now have an http url with a checksums file that causes problems, so i'll go see if i can improve the diagnostics on this error; they're quite bad right now ;) -- Jos Boumans "If superman is so smart, why does he wear underpants over his trousers?"

Are you using the most recent version of Object::Accessor and have you tried cleaning out your source files? ('x' in teh default shell). If so, and the problem persists, you've found a real bug.. in that case, please send me the output with --verbose enabled, so i may track it down. cheers, -- Jos Boumans "Never ask a man what computer he uses.

Actually, this problem also went away after I did `x -- update_source`. Maybe CPANPLUS should auto-delete the old "compiled source information" when installing itself?

I've added that to the makefile.pl so that it now does: my $stored = $cb->__storable_file( $ConfigObj->get_conf('base') ); 1 while unlink $stored; that should fix the issues you've been encountering... thanks for reporting -- Jos
