To make a long story short, I was trying to get procmail support added to my sendmail base in order to get maildir (instead of mbox), and in one of the instructions on the website it said to install CPAN as follows: # perl -MCPAN -e shell Well, I did go through this and it all seemed to work fine, except in various places where there was NOT OK reported during the building of certain modules. I was told to do this as root user, and noticed that it built /root/.cpan and /root/perl and it probably added stuff to the /usr/lib/perl paths but I am not certain of that. Since I was not able to complete this CPAN process, I blew away the above two directories in /root, restarted the process and then I got this: # perl -MCPAN -e shell Can't locate ExtUtils/MakeMaker.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.7/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.6/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.7 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.6 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.7/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.6/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.5/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.7 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.6 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.5 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8 .) at /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/CPAN.pm line 16. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/CPAN.pm line 16. Compilation failed in require. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted. On reboot, I got reports in various services being started up and it appears to display the same information as above. What can I do to remove or clean up this mess? It was not until later I discovered perhaps it was not wise to mix the CPAN method with the CPAN rpms, but I guess it is a bit too late now.
