[rhn-users] CPAN and general FTP problems

[Owens, Neil]

Hi all.
 
I've installed RH Ent4, all the patches from up2date, MySQL and Apache.
 
I'm now trying (and failing) to add perl modules with CPAN.  Below is a
sample:-
 
8<----------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------
[root at bugzilla1 5.8.5]# perl -MCPAN -e 'install"AppConfig"'
CPAN: Storable loaded ok
Going to read /root/InstallPackages/y/Metadata
Warning: Found only 0 objects in /root/InstallPackages/y/Metadata
Going to read /root/InstallPackages/y/sources/authors/01mailrc.txt.gz
Going to read
/root/InstallPackages/y/sources/modules/02packages.details.txt.gz
  Database was generated on Tue, 24 Jan 2006 02:16:00 GMT
CPAN: HTTP::Date loaded ok
 
  There's a new CPAN.pm version (v1.83) available!
  [Current version is v1.7601]
  You might want to try
    install Bundle::CPAN
    reload cpan
  without quitting the current session. It should be a seamless upgrade
  while we are running...
 
CPAN: LWP::UserAgent loaded ok
Fetching with LWP:
  ftp://cpan.etla.org/pub/CPAN/modules/03modlist.data.gz
LWP failed with code[404] message[File '03modlist.data.gz' not found]
Fetching with Net::FTP:
  ftp://cpan.etla.org/pub/CPAN/modules/03modlist.data.gz
Couldn't fetch 03modlist.data.gz from cpan.etla.org
8<----------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------
 
Then it halts. If I just try command line FTP that fails too.:-

 We serve as the ftp.fi.muni.cz, ftp.linux.cz, and ftp.cstug.cz archive,

 The server is available via FTP over IPv6 at ftp://ftp6.linux.cz/ as

If I try the same on WindowsXP it all works perfectly.
 
Can anyone tell me what I've done wrong?
 
Help most appreciated
