perl: cpan module's interactive mode fails



Hi guys,


I just ran "perl -MCPAN -e shell" and tried to install Bundle::LWP.

But when it does "Scanning cache /home/sp/.cpan/build for sizes", see below, it chokes with (see output below):

/usr/bin/tar: Skipping to next header
/usr/bin/tar: Archive contains obsolescent base-64 headers
gzip: stdin: invalid compressed data--crc error
gzip: stdin: invalid compressed data--length error


I removed all ~/.cpan stuff, tried it again, no difference.


Does anybody have an idea what's going on?

Thanks in advance for any pointers,

Stephan
