[tpm] Help... I've buggered 'cpan install' and I cant get up!

[Fulko Hew]

I needed to install the NetSNMP Perl module
so I did the CPAN install...

But it told me I needed to do a cpan install Bundle::CPAN
first to get the new version...  after a whack of packages
it seemed to wedge on  CPAN.pm itself.  See below.

So, silly me, I control C'ed it.

Now its buggered , and I can't seem to install anything.
as in the following:

cpan install Bundle::CPAN
CPAN: Storable loaded ok
Going to read /root/.cpan/sources/authors/01mailrc.txt.gz
CPAN: Compress::Zlib loaded ok
Can't call method "value" on an undefined value at
/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/IO/Uncompress/RawInflate.pm line 64.



What can I do???

TIA
Fulko

PS. This is what it was doing when I control C'ed it:


  CPAN.pm: Going to build A/AN/ANDK/CPAN-1.9304.tar.gz

Looks good
