There's a new CPAN.pm version (v1.61) available!
[Current version is v1.59_54]
You might want to try
install Bundle::CPAN
reload cpan
without quitting the current session. It should be a seamless upgrade
while we are running...

Could you please tell me why is it not able to untar it. It might need to gunzip first, which it is not doing...Please let me know if this is a problem specific to me or is common to many others.
