I tried installing the cpanm using cpan APP:cpanminus but since the user did not have write access on perl folders it did not complete successfully. I tried again using 'sudo' but it said error with 'index file'
Please check the validity of the index file by comparing it to more than one CPAN mirror. I'll continue but problems seem likely to happen. Warning: Your /home/arun1151/.cpan/sources/modules/02packages.details.txt.gz does not contain a Last-Updated header. Going to read '/home/arun1151/.cpan/sources/modules/03modlist.data.gz' Can't locate object method "data" via package "CPAN::Modulelist" (perhaps you forgot to load "CPAN::Modulelist"?) at (eval 23) line 1. As I didn't have time to dig in, I did a apt-get install of cpanminus. I was then able to install modules like DBI and works fine. I was wondering if two methods of installing have any differences and will it impact my module library by any chance. Thanks Arun
