Perl on woody - fixing faulty install
Hi folks,
I am looking for assistance to fix my install of Perl on a woody debian
install. The debian was upgraded from potato. Several error messages
keep exposing themselves, complaining that Net::FTP is not installed,
when I try to update modules, etc through CPAN.
This is a catch 22 situation as the process fails because it can't get
files from the net but it needs to get files from CPAN. I have removed
unwanted perl deb packages and then have used apt-get to clean and
reinstall the suspect packages but with no success. I have done some
searching to seek an answer but found nothing suitable. I have had
similar difficulties in the past and eventually got perl to use lynx as
the download agent. But I can't remember how I did it.
Any suggestions from your collective experiences about this problem
would be welcome.
