[NTLUG:Discuss] CPAN install problem

[Bug Hunter]

  in your home directory, you'll find a .cpan directory, in it you will 
find the modules you have downloaded in the past.  most likely you will 
find this one also.  the directory can be cleaned out, or looked at.  If 
you go into the directory for your cpan stuff, you will be able to run the 
make out of that directory.

 if you delete the .cpan directory entirely, you will have to re-setup the 
cpan again, but it would get you past this problem.

 note if you delete the .cpan directory, you may not know what modules are 
already installed anymore.
