Can't locate CPAN.pm in @INC


Dear All,

I am executing command "yum install perl-CPAN". I got the following error "Can't locate CPAN.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8 .).". Let me give you some details of the problem.

OS: CentOS release 5.4 (Final)
Architecture: : 32 Bit
Installed Perl Version: This is perl, v5.8.8 built for i386-linux-thread-multi

I've also studies previous posts on this topic which says "yum install perl-CPAN" will fix the problem when I execute this command I got "No package perl-CPAN available".

Kindly suggest a fix to this problem.

Regards,
Sherazi

You can get it from :
http://search.cpan.org/~andk/CPAN-1.9402/lib/CPAN.pm
as well. It contains a link to dowload a tar file of CPAN.

Dear Ashok,

Thanks a lot for your quick reply. I've downloaded CPAN-1.9402.tar.gz but I don't know exact commands to install. I want to install following modules. So please assist me in this regard.

cpan> install Bundle::CPAN
cpan> install Authen::Radius
cpan[1]> force install DBD::mysql
cpan[1]>force install Bundle:BI
cpan[1]>install Mail::Sendmail
cpan[1]> install Asterisk::AGI


Regards,
Shirazi

Code:

Other
 h,?           display this menu       ! perl-code   eval a perl command
 o conf [opt]  set and query options   q             quit the cpan shell
 reload cpan   load CPAN.pm again      reload index  load newer indices
 autobundle    Snapshot                force cmd     unconditionally do cmd
cpan>
Now I think you can do whatever you want with CPAN now.

1) There is no package by name ' perl-CPAN '.

2) CPAN.pm : /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/CPAN.pm
.. is from the package perl-5.8.8-18.el5

You may just have to reinstall ' perl '.
