I had this exact same bug on Mac OS X 10.4.11 with CPAN 1.7601 and Perl 5.8.6:
Deep recursion on subroutine "Compress::Zlib::AUTOLOAD" at /Library/Perl/5.8.6/darwin-thread-multi-2level/Compress/Zlib.pm line 87 I fixed it by updating Compress::Zlib from the cpan shell: cpan> install Compress::Zlib Before that, I also updated MD5 : cpan> install MD5 Then I was also able to update cpan itself (which was halting with the same error) to 1.9402 -- cpan install Bundle::CPAN broken https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/232544 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
