Ben: did you do this on VPS with low amount of memory? Try using cpanm there.

P.S. Stackoverflow is a better place for asking questions,.

tried installing Bundle::LWP

got this:

Going to read /home/admin/.cpan/sources/authors/01mailrc.txt.gz
Could not pipe[/bin/gzip --decompress --stdout /home/admin/.cpan/sources/authors/01mailrc.txt.gz |]: Cannot allocate memory at (eval 20) line 5727, line 9.

Any ideas?

I solved it by appending sudo to the command

$sudo perl -MCPAN -eshell
cpan> install Bundle::LWP

I’m using RHEL 4. Performing cpan -i Bundle::CPAN does not solve the problem, rather reiterates it.

What could be the solution. Thanks in advance.
