Question
I am trying to perform a manual installation and configuration of Perl modules. In CPAN part, it asks for the rebuilding and unpacking of latest.tar.gz. After this when I issue “perl makefile.pl” command it gives an error that the file or directory not found. But I can see that the makefile.pl is found in all the subfolders. When I try to individually run each file it gives another error mentioning that the file should be away from the tree view.

Answer
Manish, this is a question for the maintainers of the CPAN module in question, not for the TWiki support line.
However, I personally use:
perl -MCPAN -e shell
to do all CPAN installations. It tends to look after things pretty well, even when using an alternative install path (see the documentation).
