in reply to I broke my system with cpan

Please tell us more about what you did.   How many Perls are on your system, where are they located and what is the version of each?   How many CPAN libraries are on the system, where are they, and which one did you intend to update?   What is the output of o conf?   Were you attempting to update the package-supplied Perl imp. of a Linux “distro?”   etc. ...
