[Bioperl-l] Problem in BioPerl Installation

[Mauricio Herrera Cuadra]

You can always rebuild your CPAN configuration by deleting the existing 
.cpan/ directory in root's $HOME dir (quick & dirty trick), then invoke 
CPAN again from root's shell to rebuild the config:

# perl -MCPAN -e shell

Hope this helps.

Regards,
Mauricio.
