cpan[2]> install File::Find Running install for module 'File::Find' The most recent version "1.12" of the module "File::Find" is part of the perl-5.10.0 distribution. To install that, you need to run force install File::Find --or-- install R/RG/RGARCIA/perl-5.10.0.tar.gz Running make test Can't test without successful make Running make install Make had returned bad status, install seems impossible Failed during this command: RGARCIA/perl-5.10.0.tar.gz : make NO isa perl
This still shows you trying to install a module that already exists. You were asked if you know for sure that you need a newer version of File::Find and you answered with a failed attempt to install it. If you want help, you will have to answer questions asked by those trying to help you.
