Hi, CPANNERS: I love CPANPLUS (especially the default for source code)! However, I ran into one problem. It would not retrieve PDL::NetCDF even though there are current versions on the CPAN site. Is there anything I can do about this? Are there some current modules that cannot be installed by CPANPLUS? Thanks. Debra Baker University of Maryland

Re: Missing Package--PDL::NetCDF

The reason for that seems to be a PAUSE indexer problem. CPANPLUS (just like CPAN.pm) uses the 02packages file to determine what files can be gotten from the CPAN mirrors. Grepping that file for PDL::NetCDF yields no results:

$ zgrep PDL::NetCDF 02packages.details.txt.gz
$

That probably means something went wrong while indexing it, or the author used a very non standard distribution.

Luckily, CPANPLUS has support for installing from a URL as well, so you can still install it using:

$ cpanp -i http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/D/DH/DHUNT/PDL-NetCDF-0.93.tar.gz

If you're interested in getting to the root of the problem, you might want to get in touch with the PAUSE admins.
Their contact details can be found here:

Good luck,

Re: Missing Package--PDL::NetCDF

Thanks--your method worked! I have one more question: I want the perl modules I load to be for 64-bit memory on my Mac with OS X 10.5.2 (Leopard). I use gcc 4.01 as my compiler and preset ARCHFLAGS for "-arch x86_64". My Perl v. 5.8.8 is defined for 64-bit as well: in fact it has all four architectures for Mac (386i, ppc, x86_64, and ppc64). The ARCHFLAGS setting works to create 64-bit bundles when I manually install a perl module. However, CPANP installed most files as only two architectures: 386i and ppc. How can I set it up to do 64-bit installations? Deb
