Re: cpan can't find its own tempfile

I'm trying to use cpan (perl 5.10.1-2) to install Spreadsheet::Read.
When I try, I get a whole bunch of errors like e.g.

Warning: expected file
[/home/ASchulma/.cpan/sources/authors/01mailrc.txt.gz.tmp6012]
doesn't exist

Error while trying to rename
'/home/ASchulma/.cpan/sources/authors/01mailrc.txt.gz.tmp6012' to
'/home/ASchulma/.cpan/sources/authors/01mailrc.txt.gz': No such file
or directoryLockfile removed.

And indeed, the file 01mailrc.txt.gz.tmp6012 doesn't exist:

$ ls -l /home/ASchulma/.cpan/sources/authors
total 5
-rw-r-----+ 1 ASchulma Domain Users 779 2010-01-14 12:28 01mailrc.txt.tmp6012
-rw-r-----+ 1 ASchulma Domain Users 388 2010-01-14 12:28 01mailrc.txt.tmp6012.gz

It seems that cpan is trying to find 01mailrc.txt.gz.tmp6012, when
what it really wants is 01mailrc.txt.tmp6012.gz; or vice versa.

cygcheck -srv output is attached.

This is a known problem when none of your CPAN download methods (LWP, curl, wget, ...) work or your proxy is wrong or your mirror setting is wrong.

OK. Any suggestions on how I can figure out which of those is the problem? I'm not sure about LWP, but wget and curl both work from the command line, without a proxy. Wrong mirror? How would I fix that? Maybe it was set wrong during the automatic initial setup-- how do I clear that?

Sorry, I was busy.


Can you send me my our /home/ASchulma/.cpan/CPAN/MyConfig.pm to me only,
so I can check which method is failing for you.

You can disable failing download methods with the key:
  'dontload_hash' => { q[Net::FTP]=>q[1] },

I disabled Net::FTP for me.
