Actually plain 'CPAN' is the module you are using, and the Bundle::CPAN at least in some versions can be very annoying in that if you do not have an up-to-date Perl installed it will try to help you and upgrade your Perl which can be *very* annoying. Rumor has it that this is fixed in newer versions of Perl/CPAN...?? It is a good idea to keep CPAN up-to-date, but Bundle::CPAN is another story (or used to be).... http://danconia.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
