Mac Forum / Programming / Perl / December 2003

I've just tried to install Panther and found out my install disc is bad.
Apple said they'd send a new one in a few days, so that's the good news. The
bad news is that I was doing a clean install and it wiped out all my old
stuff. That's really no big deal either, I just reinstalled the old 10.1.2
software.

The problem is that I've apparently forgot what I did to configure CPAN to
correctly install the modules I use most. LWP, HTML::Template,
Finance::Quote, GD, and a few others. After reading some old post on this
list about CPAN problems I think I screwed the pooch from the get go.

So, If I get this right, I should...

1 sudo perl -MCPAN -e shell

2. Do NOT install libwww when it asks me too. (I did)

3. Type 'install CPAN' (To update to the latest version, Do NOT 'install
Bundle::CPAN')

After this, should I let CPAN configure itself by answering "no" when It ask
me if I want to "Manually configure" it?

Is there anything else I'm forgetting?

Kindest Regards,

Bill Stephenson
