New User 1.80
New to using linux and cpan to update modules. Tried to do install File::Find::Rule when I was logged in as root (su) since cpan is installed in /root directory. Two Questions: 1. after I hit enter it tries LWP then NET::FTP then curl. the first two appear to time out and curl seems to work. Is this a configuration error on my part, the two sites I selected or ? How can I add more sites to look at? 2. the install says I need a dependency, I tell it to install also. It gives me a sudo not OK, missing a variable (I think. Is this because I su'd to root first? It says to try install --help but that tries to install help. I assumed I did that the the cpan prompt. Any help or pointers would be appreciated!!
