first try
install CPAN
not
install Bundle::CPAN
that should get you to around 1.59 version of CPAN.pm
I *believe* it's possible to
force install XY::Z
where XY::Z is some module name that you are trying to install, and
where that is the direct path to the module's own directory under the
author name
to find that, you can match the module name with a regex, while using
the i command to search for any information about the module
i /^LWP::/
will search CPAN for all modules that begin with LWP:: for example, and
then you can take the full path to the module name from the returned
list.
write back if you need further info.
