All of sudden, I'm having this strange problem. I do this in terminal:

sudo perl -MCPAN -e 'WWW::Restaurant::Menu'

And . . . nothing happens. When I go into cpan, I get this message:

There seems to be running another CPAN process (pid 606). Contacting...
Other job not responding. Shall I overwrite the lockfile? (Y/N) [y]

When I go into Activity Monitor I don't see pid 606.

Last week it was working just fine for me. I'm puzzled as to what might
be going on - any advice on getting this back up and running again?

Moral of the story . . . pay attention to the words. Seems I left out
this vital word "install". Doh . . . correcting the entry in the
NoteTaker file I keep for Perl info . . .

*snicker* I did the same thing when I first got OS X ... no idea why -
it just happened. I spent days messing about with reinstalls and
oconf..... :)
