Failed to install

Hi. While trying to install the module, (WinXP, Strawberry Perl, Perl 5.10, CPAN) I got the following error: Running install for module 'IPC::Cmd' Running make for K/KA/KANE/IPC-Cmd-0.42.tar.gz Has already been unwrapped into directory C:\strawberry\cpan\build\KANE-e5AYZO Had problems unarchiving. Please build manually Package contains both files[IPC-Cmd-0.42.tar] and directories[IPC-Cmd-0.42]; not recognized as a perl package, giving up, won't make As much as I can tell, CPAN expected some files in the main directory, (in this case, I guess, C:\strawberry\cpan\build\KANE-e5AYZO) but can not find what it looks for. manual inspection found the supposly missing files (such as Makefile.PL) in a IPC-Cmd-0.42 under that directory. Can you please fix it? Shmuel.

This seems like an issue with CPAN.pm, or your environment; IPC::Cmd is actually 'clean': http://cpansearch.perl.org/src/KANE/IPC-Cmd-0.42/ After checking with Andreas, the author of CPAN.pm, he suggests to try the following: Show quoted text

CPAN> o conf build_dir_reuse 0 CPAN> force get IPC::Cmd CPAN> install IPC::Cmd

This gives you a fresh copy of the tarball and tries to install it again. If this also fails, please reopen the ticket with the full output of the installation sessions (from start to end), which should give us enough information to debug it. Thanks,
