Hi,

I have used the cpan shell under Windows, and a strange warning appeared.
Does anyone know what it is?

I have just installed ActivePerl 5.8.8, build 820, but it happened the same
with the build 819.

Here it is:

D:\Documents and Settings\octavian>cpan
Warning [c:\ruby\bin\inputrc.euro line 1]: Re-binding char #91 to non-meta
("["
) in emacs_keymap_27 key map
cpan shell -- CPAN exploration and modules installation (v1.7602)

Thank you.

It looks like the cpan that is being called was the one installed by
Ruby. Many gems are just wrappers for CPAN modules.

Try the following and see what happens:

perl -MCPAN -e shell

if that works, check you paths and make sure that the cpan you want
appears first. Alternatively, you could just use ppm installed by
ASPerl. Generally speaking, ppm is the preferred installation on
Windows. Many CPAN modules won't build out of the box on Windows, and
most Windows installations don't have the tools to build them anyway.

HTH,
