This is what I get when I do a 'install Bundle::CPAN'

Error while trying to rename '/root/.cpan/sources/authors/
01mailrc.txt.gz.tmp7539' to '/root/.cpan/sources/authors/
01mailrc.txt.gz': No such file or directoryTerminal does not support
GetHistory.
Lockfile removed.

-bash-3.00# ls
01mailrc.txt.tmp7539 01mailrc.txt.tmp7539.gz
-bash-3.00#

Trying to install cpan from within cpan seems like more of a problem
in teleology
than perl.

Have you tried:
o conf init

Just to clarify:

teleology is the intersection of two domains:

I. cause and effect is the objective physical connection
between two events A and B. We say A causes B.

II. purpose is the subjective moral connection between two
events A and B, We say the purpose of A is to produce B.

One definition of God is the set of all things from the above
two domains where A = B. That is, the things which cause
themselves and whose purpose is to exist. To an atheist,
the set is empty and to a pantheist it includes the entire
universe.

In the case of CPAN, the results are less encouraging.

Huh? IMO deleting this directory has no effect at all on your
installation. It's just the download and build cache.
