[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Evergreen error installing 3.1.1 - cannot connect to ftp mirror.datapipe.net

[Jason Stephenson]

JonGeorg,

Looks like you got a bad miror when cpan autoconfigured itself. This
isn't strictly an Evergreen issue, but I can help you with it.

Run the following command as root to start up CPAN:

perl -MCPAN -e shell

In the CPAN shell that opens, type the following:

o conf urllist pop
o conf urllist push http://www.perl.com/CPAN/
o conf commit

The above should get you a working mirror. You can then run the
prerequisite installation again.

You can find a current list of US CPAN mirrors, here:

http://mirrors.cpan.org/#us

HtH,
Jason
