Let it do the work--I would run your 'cpan autobundle' on the NEW system and see where it drops the bundle file. That's the directory you want to copy your existing one to. Then try running your install command.

Hope that helps. (Let us know how it goes, please. :) )

    That did the trick -- I didn't need to run it on the new system, I knew where it was on the old system and I just put it there and right now it is happily loading several *hundred* packages! the magic location is {perldir}/cpan/bundles
