How are you using CPAN? perl -MCPAN -e shell ? I really don't know why this should be, maybe strace it and run top and df -h to see what's happening. I'd also list all the other programs you're running too... I doubt the following: 1) Anyone could diagnose the problem given the present data. 2) This is an undiscovered bug on CPAN, it's open source goddammit :) 3) This is a bug on CPAN for the same reason. Given my experience of RedHat (5.2-7.2) I'd change to Debian... just kidding (well not really, but it's friday and too late in the week for an OS War ;)... I'd check on the bug list for RedHat if I were you. -- Frank Booth - Consultant Parasol Solutions Limited.
