[SWLUG] Problms with Cpan installing

[Neil Jones]

THanks to everyone who helped and lots of advice last night I have made
sopme progress with installations.

I may have to ask this question in a more specialised forum but I get
masses and masses of errors from
cpan -i Image::Magick

Here is just a selection.

If anyone knows what causes these kind of errors I'd like to know.

Secondly how do I stop or store the output. I have tried sending it
though "more" this does nothing sending it to a file "> holdfile"
doesn't work either. I just might get a clue if I could see the
beginning of the errors before they race off the screen.
