Win 7: install Bundle::CPAN

[deadpickle]

Trying to install the bundle from cpan but I keep getting these
outputs:
C:\camelbox\bin\tar.EXE: Error exit delayed from previous errors
Uncompressed C:\camelbox\.cpan\sources\authors\id\A\AN\ANDYA\Test-

not sure what to do?

Could not create files was the error; do you have permission to create
the files in the specified directory?

try 'look CPAN' to 1) see if the directory unpacks correctly and 2)
that you can create files inside of the unpacked directory. If you
can't, then it's a permissions issue.

Thanks,

Brian

I did not see any errors for either of those.

You may need to try running cpan as an administrator.

Create a new shortcut to cmd

Then right click on it and choose "Run as administrator".

Than try installing from CPAN.

If you can do 'look Bundle::CPAN' and get a shell, you can then try
building things by hand the usual Perl way;

perl Makefile.PL
dmake
dmake test
dmake install

I bet you're not running as Administrator (as Jeff has mentioned in
another email), and 'dmake install' fails for you because of this.

Thanks,

ran perl -MCPAN -e shell in a cmd window as admin and got the same
errors.
