Hello all
I used to be able to use CPAN (only a week or so ago) but now it seems to
time out. I thought it might be a network / firewall type thing but I can
use ncftp ok. See below ...
$ cpan Perl::Tokenizer
CPAN: Storable loaded ok
Going to read /home/wardmm/.cpan/Metadata
Database was generated on Tue, 23 Sep 2003 00:45:53 GMT
Going to read /home/wardmm/.cpan/sources/authors/01mailrc.txt.gz
CPAN: Compress::Zlib loaded ok
CPAN: LWP::UserAgent loaded ok
Fetching with LWP:
ftp://ftp.planetmirror.com/pub/perl/CPAN/modules/02packages.details.txt.gz
LWP failed with code[400] message[FTP return code 000]
Fetching with Net::FTP:
ftp://ftp.planetmirror.com/pub/perl/CPAN/modules/02packages.details.txt.gz
Couldn't fetch 02packages.details.txt.gz from ftp.planetmirror.com
Fetching with LWP:
ftp://cpan.nas.nasa.gov/pub/perl/CPAN/modules/02packages.details.txt.gz
LWP failed with code[400] message[FTP return code 000]
Fetching with Net::FTP:
ftp://cpan.nas.nasa.gov/pub/perl/CPAN/modules/02packages.details.txt.gz
Couldn't fetch 02packages.details.txt.gz from cpan.nas.nasa.gov
Fetching with LWP:
ftp://cpan.llarian.net/pub/CPAN/modules/02packages.details.txt.gz
(and so on --- had to can it)
(but i can get the file ok ... ?? )
$ ncftpget
ftp://ftp.planetmirror.com/pub/perl/CPAN/modules/02packages.details.txt.gz
Who are you?
You have a user id number of 4012, but no username associated with it.
02packages.details.txt.gz: 237.34 kB 3.11
kB/s
Does anyone have an idea what is going on here? Or what I could try?
I'm a long-term cygwin user but I don't really know what's going on
underneath.
Thanks
~ Wardy

Looks like network problems.

You didn't told me which version of cygwin `uname -svr` and which
version of perl `perl -V` (capital V) you're using now.
Please *attach* also the output of cygcheck -svr to your reply.

I don't know if this is the source of your CPAN problems, but doesn't this
look significant in itself? This shows that your /etc/passwd and
/etc/group are not up to date.

You can rebuild your /etc/passwd and /etc/group by running
for f in passwd group; do mv /etc/$f{,-bak} && mk$f -lc > /etc/$f; done
Hope this helps,
Igor

Does your environment have FTP_PASSIVE set?
dpchrist@w2k30g:~$ cat .bash_profile | grep FTP
export FTP_PASSIVE=1
HTH,
