I have a RAQ4

When I try to upgrade PERL, I get the following:

cpan> install Bundle::CPAN
Fetching with LWP:
ftp://mirror.sit.wisc.edu/pub/CPAN/authors/id/A/AN/ANDK/CPAN-1.62.tar.gz
CPAN: MD5 loaded ok
Fetching with LWP:
ftp://mirror.sit.wisc.edu/pub/CPAN/authors/id/A/AN/ANDK/CHECKSUMS
Could not gzopen yes/sources/authors/id/A/AN/ANDK/CPAN-1.62.tar.gz at /usr/lib/per
l5/5.00503/CPAN.pm line 4159.

cpan>

Anyone get a clue? I need to upgrade CPAN.

I'[ve tried on my other RAQs and it works fine.

The error looks like it was a gunzip problem. Could the location that perl thinks Gunzip be wrong? maybe a simple symlink could fix it?

Here's what I have for gunzip:

/bin/gunzip
/usr/bin/gunzip --> link to /bin/gunzip
/usr/man/man1/gunzip.1.gz

Here's my path:
PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/local/bin

gunzip version:
gunzip 1.2.4 (18 Aug 93)

other than that being an OLD gunzip nothing else is glaring at me. Can CPAN be downloaded compiled without being in cpan? I haven't ran into an issue with it before so I don't know :-)
