I am just trying to run a simple perl program to import data from xml and export it to database.
Use Mysql; did not work, so I used DBD::mysql instead after failing to get Mysql.pm from cpan.
However, I am unable to install anything. I am trying to install xml parser module, but cpan gives these errors no matter what module you try to install.
install xml::parser

Am I doing something wrong? I tried searching for these errors, but no one has a right solution. Is there some setting in the config I should change?
If nobody has an answer for your particular problem I would probably just try with a new cpan, something like:
and then trying to install the module again.
Hope this helps.
