CPAN problem

[Tom Keller]

I've been having trouble with my CPAN module since I installed an 
maintenance patch on my IRIX 6.5 system. Here's an example:
(I su'd to root, and launched CPAN for perl 5.6.)

cpan> m /dumper/
CPAN: Storable loaded ok
Going to read /.cpan/Metadata
CPAN: LWP::UserAgent loaded ok
Fetching with LWP:
   ftp://ftp.cs.colorado.edu/pub/perl/CPAN/authors/01mailrc.txt.gz
Fetching with Net::FTP:
   ftp://ftp.cs.colorado.edu/pub/perl/CPAN/authors/01mailrc.txt.gz
Can't call method "sockport" on an undefined value at 
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0/Net/FTP.pm line 789.

Ignore if off-topic (or better yet redirect me to something appropriate).
Thanks,
Tom K.
