How to reinstall CPAN?

[Steve Hemond]

Hi folks,

For some reason, when running CPAN I get to many problems (I installed
Perl v. 5.8.3 this morning, don't know if it has an effect)


cpan> install HTML::Mason
CPAN: Storable loaded ok
LWP not available
CPAN: Net::FTP loaded ok
Fetching with Net::FTP:
[url]ftp://cpan.chebucto.ns.ca/pub/CPAN/authors/01mailrc.txt.gz[/url]
Going to read /usr/local/cpan/sources/authors/01mailrc.txt.gz
Can't exec "./gzip": No such file or directory at
/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.3/aix/IO/File.pm line 176, <FIN> line 1.
Could not pipe[./gzip --decompress --stdout
/usr/local/cpan/sources/authors/01mailrc.txt.gz |]: No such file or
directory at /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.3/CPAN.pm line 5727, <FIN> line 1.

Is there any way I can reinstall CPAN from scratch?

Thanks!
