after much frustration, the following worked for me:
-
cpan <-- answer "no" to initial setup.
This allows (auto configured) Config.pm file (see below) to be initialised. Previously I think this file had "1;" or something helpful in it!
- I then added:
'dontload_hash' => {"Net::FTP" => 1, "LWP" =>1 }, # disable Net::FTP
+ and LWP which usually hang
to: /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/CPAN/Config.pm - see section:
$CPAN::Config = {
...
but this alone did not seem to do the job. I'm still not sure if this step had any effect.
-
(in cpan shell)
o conf urllist http://ppm.activestate.com/CPAN http://cpan.perl.org
o conf commit
quit
worked for me - thanks!

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
