Umm thanks for the tip.
However, dselect tells me that I have both perl-5.005, and
perl-5.005-base installed, and the installer script still says it can't
find the needed modules. The it tries to install (or maybe configure)
cpan.pm. In other words it prompts me for things like where to store
the config files etc.
Then this fails because it does not understand that it needs to use
passive ftp.
Sugestions?
