It seems that Cpan has changed lately some where around version 1.75.  
Whenever  I install a module through CPAN, I keep getting this message.


CPAN: Module::Signature security checks disabled because Module::Signature
  not installed.  Please consider installing the Module::Signature module.

So I try to install Module::Signature.  Many modules later I run into this 
problem.  


  CPAN.pm: Going to build I/IL/ILYAZ/modules/Math-Pari-2.010500.tar.gz

Did not find GP/PARI build directory around.
Do you want to me to fetch GP/PARI automatically?
  (If you do not, you will need to fetch it manually, and/or direct me to
   the directory with GP/PARI source via the command-line option paridir=/dir)
Make sure you have a large scrollback buffer to see the messages.
Fetch? (y/n, press Enter) y
Getting GP/PARI from ftp://megrez.math.u-bordeaux.fr/pub/pari/unix/
Cannot list (): Bad file descriptor at utils/Math/PariBuild.pm line 186, <> 
chunk 1.

Can't fetch file with Net::FTP, now trying with LWP::UserAgent...

Well the install never gets what it wants.  I tried visteding the site and I 
do not get connected either.  Just wondering if I picked the wrong time of 
day or did the site every work?  Also does anybody have a work around or does 
it just not matter and live with the message?

Thanks,

Douglas
