I have recently installed CPANPLUS on a new iMac. What do these errors mean? What should I do about them? Last login: Wed Apr 22 16:31:27 on ttys000 ~$ sudo cpanp Password: [ERROR] No such key 'cpantest_reporter_args' in field 'conf' [ERROR] No such key 'enable_custom_sources' in field 'conf' [ERROR] No such key 'source_engine' in field 'conf' Thanks for any advice you can give me. Regards, Vic Norton

This looks like you have a newer configuration on your system than the CPANPLUS version you are running currently. Could it be that you used a development version of CPANPLUS (say in the 0.85_XX range), and then downgraded to 0.84? In this case, the errors are harmless (they wont stop CPANPLUS from working), but to elimiate them, you may want to double check your config. Probably an 's save' from the default shell will get rid of it for you. Cheers,
