Subject: Fails to install perl-5.12.[01]
perlbrew install perl-5.12.1 gives: Fetching perl-5.12.1 as /home/njh/perl5/perlbrew/dists/perl-5.12.1.tar.bz2 Page not retrieved; HTTP error code 400 or above. at /loader/0x813956c/App/perlbrew.pm line 146. That's not surprising, seeing as 5.12.0 and 5.12.1 are tar.gz files not .tar.bz2.

Actually the do have .tar.bz2 too. If you browse http://www.cpan.org/src/5.0/ you can see they're there. Also the http error is 400 bad request but not 404 not found. I suspect something is wrong with the server. If you have proxy setting turned on for curl/wget, please consider disable them first and try again. Good luck!
Thank you for your reply. I've changed nothing, but now it works. Looks as though you were right, and it was a glitch with the server.
