Hi all im not sure if this is the right mailing list but im using centos anyway. i run CPAN by perl -MCPAN -e shell and got through the first time configuration and after selecting the mirror sites i got this error and i can't get any modules to be installed. I haven't encountered this before and not very familiar with cpan.

cpan shell -- CPAN exploration and modules installation (v1.7602) ReadLine support enabled
Can't ioctl TIOCGETP: Invalid argument Consider installing Term::ReadKey from CPAN site nearby at http://www.perl.com/CPAN Or use perl -MCPAN -e shell to reach CPAN. Falling back to 'stty'. If you do not want to see this warning, set PERL_READLINE_NOWARN in your environment.

CPAN is a horrible way to install software on a centos box, as it completely bypasses the package management system. Because of this, you can end up with unmet dependencies when things are really installed, centos updates to perl may break because cpan updated a core component, etc.
Mostly, just don't do it. Use rpmforge or other 3rd party repositories to install perl modules.

Is this true for adding perl components not in CENTOS?? If so - what is your correct way to add a package ? Dan
Yes. Use rpmforge or kbs for perl modules which aren't included in the base distro. See wiki.centos.org/Repositories for details.
