perlquestion Anonymous Monk Hello Monks, I am trying to install Net:SSH::Perl module on my windows 2008 R2 64 bit operating system. The overall installation fails when it tries to install Math::Pari module which is one of the dependency module required for Net:SSH::Perl. I am pasting the exact error below: <code> cpan> install Math::Pari Running install for module 'Math::Pari' Running make for I/IL/ILYAZ/modules/Math-Pari-2.01080605.tar.gz Fetching with LWP: http://ppm.activestate.com/CPAN/authors/id/I/IL/ILYAZ/modules/CHECKSUMS Catching error: "Transfer truncated: only 25764 out of 101425 bytes received\cJ" at C:\Perl64\lib/CPAN.pm line 392.

Module name: Math-Pari-2.01080605.tar.gz When I try the above module manually, using commands: "perl Makefile.PL && dmake install.
