install cli on ubuntu 12.04

[averlon]

Hi,

I am new in this forum.

Running an ESXi 5.x with 3 VMs with Ubuntu.

I am trying to install the cli on my Ubuntu 12.04 Desktop System but fail.

Message:

Please wait while configuring CPAN ...

CPAN config Command failed .

Install not able to configure CPAN. Please configure CPAN manually and re-run
the Installer.

Can anyone give me a hint what to do!?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

unfortunately, no - it does not.

It just says I have to install the perl modules manually.

That's what I allready knew.

The question of all questions is: which and how.

I wasn't able to find anything about it in more details.

Thanks anyway for help.

Can you try apt-get install cpan ? This should be enough normally.

Hi,

CPAN was already installed.

Solution:

I had to upgrade to the latest CPAN version.

perl -e shell -MCPAN
install CPAN
reload CPAN
exit

Then the cli installer worked.
