I have a Redhat 7.3 server running Plesk 5.0 (which means I am running qmail) at Rack Shack (if that means anything to this problem). I attempted to install SA 2.55 and everything seemed to go well until I got to running CPAN. The following is my session in CPAN.

There's a new CPAN.pm version (v1.70) available! [Current version is v1.59_54] You might want to try install Bundle::CPAN reload cpan without quitting the current session. It should be a seamless upgrade while we are running...

The commands are exactly what the install file told me to do but it looks to me as though something messed up. I am a newbie to SA, a novice Sys. Admin. and I am lost. Can anyone offer assistance, or lead me to a link where I could read for myself how to get SA running properly? Thanks for your time. I hope that when this is running I could become a contributor to the list.
