Mark, I'm new to Perl, and specifically CPAN. I do have Perl ix installed and as a test to see if I'm working with CPAN correctly, I did the following, hoping it would come back with information about any authors by last name of "Ashton". cpan> a /Ashton/ {seperated my command from the output for clarity} CPAN: LWP::UserAgent loaded ok Fetching with LWP: ftp://cpan.nas.nasa.gov/pub/perl/CPAN/authors/01mailrc.txt.gz Fetching with Net::FTP: ftp://cpan.nas.nasa.gov/pub/perl/CPAN/authors/01mailrc.txt.gz Fetching with LWP: ftp://ftp.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/01mailrc.txt.gz Fetching with Net::FTP: ftp://ftp.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/01mailrc.txt.gz Fetching with LWP: ftp://ftp.perl.org/pub/perl/CPAN/authors/01mailrc.txt.gz Fetching with Net::FTP: ftp://ftp.perl.org/pub/perl/CPAN/authors/01mailrc.txt.gz Fetching with LWP: http://download.sourceforge.net/mirrors/CPAN/authors/01mailrc.txt.gz Issuing " -n" Can't exec "-n": No such file or directory at /PERL/PUB/lib/perl5/5.6.0/PA-RISC1 .1/IO/File.pm line 166. Couldn't open ftp: No such file or directory at /PERL/PUB/lib/perl5/5.6.0/CPAN.p m line 2434. Any ideas on what the 'Can't exec "-n"...' is all about? Do I need to do someting else/different to get this to work? I'd like to eventually install the MPE::IMAGE module, but I want to make sure I'm working with CPAN correctly.
