Subject: recursive dependency in CPAN upgrade
There's a new CPAN.pm version (v1.9402) available! [Current version is v1.7602] You might want to try ... lots of package install text follows but eventually we stop at... Recursive dependency detected: Bundle::CPAN => Test::Harness => A/AN/ANDYA/Test-Harness-3.17.tar.gz => File::Spec => S/SM/SMUELLER/PathTools-3.30.tar.gz => Scalar::Util => G/GB/GBARR/Scalar-List-Utils-1.21.tar.gz => Test::More => M/MS/MSCHWERN/Test-Simple-0.94.tar.gz => Test::Harness. Cannot continue.

Sorry, I don't have a solution to this. It appears to just be a bug in old versions of CPAN, there's no actual recursive dependency (unless some core modules are missing in your Perl distribution?). I'd suggest just upgrading CPAN itself before Bundle::CPAN.
