| Can someone advise me as to where I should put the quotes? All I did was ty=
pe
perl -MCPAN -e 'install Date::Manip'
Somewhere the is a perl script that needs to be edited. Can someone tell me=
what script this is?
Thanks,
Siegfried

Greetings,
I am not familiar at all with Perl, but from my experiences with MS-DOS, if=
you
want to have the CLI read something, IE file name or path, then you need to
enclose the filename and path in quotes. So if you could try to enclose the=
path
in quotes, that may work.

Hmm... I did not see this appear on the list so I'm posting it again. I'm u=
sing
cygwin perl on windows and as you can see below, cpan seems to choking on =
the
path name "/cygdrive/c/Documents and settings/a-siehei/My Documents" becaus=
e of
the spaces.
Surely someone else has a workaround!
My apologies if this appears twice.

It looks like the CPAN program does not anticipate paths with spaces in the=
m. I
did a google search with no luck. Surely someone has already fixed this pro=
blem!
How do I fix it?
Thanks,
Siegfried
