Where do you find the MCPAN configuration for Perl updating of CPAN?
I ran perl -MCPAN -e shell and ran the configuration the best I
could and let it do what it needed.

Later I found out the server did not have a DNS entry so it had no DNS and
then I guess some of the programs MCPAN was looking for, for FTP and such
must not be installed.

This is RED Hat 7.3 and 6.2 machines. No one at the company was around when
the systems was set up and not nuch was installed on the systems. I am now
trying to patch and update a few things.

Where is the CPAN / MCPAN files located at inside of Linux? Or what Perl
Mod. is it part of? ANd if I need to edit the CPAN config program where it
states what programs to use and where the ftp program is located on the
system, what file is that?


Also X-Windows is not installed. Is there a command line RPM Red Hat
Package Manager? Or where can one download the one needed for red hat 7.3
and 6.2? If so what is the commands or location for it. I will be
searching for ISO images of red hat 6.2 and 7.3 since I do not think they
even have the install disks for the systems.


Sincerely,

Chad
