Today was my first attempt at installing modules from CPAN. I have had a number of problems, some of which have gone away during the course of the day. However, I am left with the messages below (cut and pasted from the CPAN shell window). Is there a way to write a log file while carrying out these cpan commands? Is there a way to make the error messages more informative? They say only that something is going w +rong, but they don't say what is going wrong. How can I make the error messages below go away? cpan> install Bundle::CPAN File::Spec is up to date. Digest::MD5 is up to date. Compress::Zlib is up to date. Archive::Tar is up to date.
