Thanks for replying shibu.
[root@tom razor-agents-2.84]# perl -MCPAN -e shell
There seems to be running another CPAN process (pid
23858). Contacting...
Other job not responding. Shall I overwrite the lockfile? (Y/N) [y] y
cpan shell -- CPAN exploration and modules installation (v1.7602)
ReadLine support enabled
cpan> install DBI
CPAN: Storable loaded ok
Going to read /root/.cpan/Metadata

Running install for module DBI
Running make for T/TI/TIMB/DBI-1.601.tar.gz
CPAN: Digest::MD5 loaded ok
perl: symbol lookup error:

[root@tom razor-agents-2.84]#
I can't find any other cpan shell running either but I get that msg each
time it exits like this.
tom ...do you have another version of perl already installed in your
system...may be that's causing this error.

I installed perl 5.8.8 via cpan into /usr/local/lib earlier today, maybe
thats causing the lock but I only did that as a last resort as I was
getting this type of error trying to upgrade modules...weird
The most recent version "3.24" of the module "Text::ParseWords"
is part of the perl-5.8.8 distribution. To install that, you need to run
force install Text::ParseWords --or--
install N/NW/NWCLARK/perl-5.8.8.tar.gz
not sure how to remove that either.
Oh centos 4.5
