Thank you Kahlil for your reply.
I made few perl changes, uninstalled CPAN, removed the .cpan dir, and reinstalled, and ran 'install CPAN' and everything looked much better. That is, no failures. The last part of the output was;
<snip> t/97-mock.t ................... ok t/97-process_options.t ........ ok t/97-process_setup_options.t .. ok t/97-return_values.t .......... ok All tests successful. Files=30, Tests=815, 79 wallclock secs ( 0.55 usr 0.04 sys + 57.45 cusr 6.75 csys = 64.79 CPU) Result: PASS ANDK/CPAN-2.10.tar.gz /usr/bin/make test -- OK Running make install Appending installation info to /root/perl5/lib/perl5/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/perllocal.pod ANDK/CPAN-2.10.tar.gz /usr/bin/make install -- OK <end>
And that's it. Ran reload CPAN and it still shows v 1.98. Getting much closer? Any ideas?
Thanks again,
James

CPAN is a core module which can be tricky to update on the RedHat based systems.
Suggest investigating:
local::lib App::cpanminus Pinto
