I had a little difficulty today installing some Perl modules from CPAN. I was getting messages like:
Fetching with Net::FTP:
ftp://ftp.flirble.org/pub/CPAN/authors/01mailrc.txt.gz
Couldn't fetch 01mailrc.txt.gz from ftp.flirble.org
Fetching with LWP:
ftp://ftp.mirror.anlx.net/CPAN/authors/01mailrc.txt.gz
LWP failed with code[400] message[FTP return code 150]
Fetching with Net::FTP:
ftp://ftp.mirror.anlx.net/CPAN/authors/01mailrc.txt.gz
First I tried removing the exisint Config.pm file from /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.5/CPAN/
Then I tried the install command again:
# perl -MCPAN -e shell [no when asked]
cpan > install Mail::SPF::Query
This time I tried a little more patience and let it take its course. Eventually the install proceeded.
Patience is a virtue.
