Thanks for replying shibu.

There seems to be running another CPAN process (pid 23858). Contacting... Other job not responding. Shall I overwrite the lockfile? (Y/N) [y] y

I can't find any other cpan shell running either but I get that msg each time it exits like this.

tom ...do you have another version of perl already installed in your system...may be that's causing this error.
