Subject: invocation of "getstore" doesn't report underlying error
Confused about version number...the tarball claims to be 0.20, but /usr/bin/cpan-outdated has 0.18 internally. On line 56 of cpan-outdated: getstore($index_url, $tmpfile->filename) or die "Cannot getstore file"; In my case, I happened to run this on a RFC1918-only machine and hadn't set up the proxy when I ran the script. The message: Cannot getstore file ... left me pretty clueless as to what was going wrong. Running it under the perl debugger, I discovered that the underlying routines are passing back information that would have helped me. I changed line 56 (and maybe 58 similarly for consistency) to: getstore($index_url, $tmpfile->filename) or die "Cannot getstore file: $!"; which got me: Cannot getstore file: Connection timed out ... Hope this seems reasonable to you.
