Everyone,

Have a new install of Centos 4.4 with a Supermicro dual processor. I was trying to install the perl module Astro::Time with CPAN and the initial setup of CPAN suggested a -j3 switch to be used with 'make' on dual processor machines. I followed the suggestion but when the CPAN module tried to use make it failed with the -j3 switch. I thought I would uninstall CPAN to start over without the -j3 switch, but could not figure out how this is done. Any ideas?

You can just reconfigure the parameters to CPAN. I think the -j3 is the 'make_arg' setting? If so, you'd do something like:

perl -MCPAN -e shell o conf o conf make_arg '' o conf commit
