spiritway has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
Beloved Brethren and Sistren:
I use cpan to install modules on a Linux system. Occasionally I will get a very long series of messages that scroll past my screen faster than I can read, but which identify an error. After much ado, the cpan program simply tells me, "make no good; won't install without force". At that point, I have no clue what went wrong, so of course I have no idea how to fix it. I can't redirect the output, because I'm in cpan.
Does anyone have any words of wisdom to help me with this vexing problem? If so, what are they?
Update:
Wow, thanks to everyone for the great ideas.
