the script file of the terminal output during the cpan session. It
indicates a problem with Net::DNS.
At the end of this message, I am attaching cpan session record of my
attempt to install Net::DNS.
There seemed to be multiple problems. In particular, the MIME::Base64
is 3.05, whereas it
should be 3.07. I would be grateful for advice on how to rectify.
When I looked at MIME::Base64,
here is what I found --
cpan> install MIME::Base64
CPAN: Storable loaded ok
Going to read /Users/hardy/.cpan/Metadata

MIME::Base64 is up to date (3.07).

You need to make sure the Net::DNS version is sufficiently up-to-date:
- version 0.34 or higher on Unix systems
- version 0.46 or higher on Windows systems

NOTE: the optional MIME::Base64 module is installed,
but is not an up-to-date version.
This module is highly recommended to increase the speed with which
Base64 encoded messages/mail parts are decoded.

Can you not just go to CPAN and install these modules?
