Where i replied: that's odd, it works for me (i removed ftp.cpan.org myself): I see you already have some hosts selected: http://www.cpan.org/ ftp://ftp.nl.uu.net/pub/CPAN/ ftp://cpan.valueclick.com/pub/CPAN/ ftp://ftp.funet.fi/pub/languages/perl/CPAN/ If you'd like to stick with your current settings, just select 'Yes'. Otherwise, select 'No' and you can reconfigure your hosts Would you like to keep your current hosts? [Y/n]: However, CPANPLUS' idea of what config was 'acceptable' was a bit stringent, and i'm about to patch that with, which may solve this problem as well: ==== //depot/cpanplus/devel/lib/CPANPLUS/Configure.pm#47 - /Users/kane/sources/p4/cpanplus/devel/lib/CPANPLUS/Configure.pm ==== 13c13 < use vars qw[$AUTOLOAD $VERSION]; --- Show quoted text
