On CentOS 6.2, perl v5.10.1 and I cannot install XML::SAX::Expat. Using "cpan XML::SAX::Expat"
a lot of the earlier problems I solved (there were a lot more errors when I first tried to installl XML::Simple) came from missing binaries required by the cpan config (in my case: unzip, make, lynx, patch, gcc, ftp). Since this is the only module failing to install (all other prerequisites are already installed), I am under the impression that I already installed all the OS requirements (via yum). Am I correct to assume this?
BTW, the histfile doesnt get created. Which permissions should i apply to /root/.cpan/ ?
What should I try next? Is it ok to force install?
All tests successful.
