I'm sorry for adding this bug but I think it's not the fault of 'g-cpan.pl'. % perl -MCPAN -e shell cpan shell -- CPAN exploration and modules installation (v1.83) ReadLine support enabled cpan> i /Virtual/ CPAN: Storable loaded ok Going to read /root/.cpan/Metadata Database was generated on Sun, 15 Jan 2006 06:35:09 GMT [...] Distribution X/XA/XANTUS/Filesys-Virtual-0.05.tar.gz Distribution X/XA/XANTUS/Filesys-Virtual-Plain-0.08.tar.gz Module Array::Virtual (Contact Author Larry Wall.
