==> Installing Modules From CPAN <==

Can't locate object method "id" via package
"CPAN::Queue::Item" at
inst/cpan.pl line 179.
make: *** [cpan] Error 255

Am I having a compatibility issue?

I realize I can manually install, and am doing so now. Is
there a way to fix
this particular issue?

TIA,
Karim

I'm afraid you'll have to ask the CPAN folks. Or just ask on
#perl on  
irc.perl.org.

I managed to work around the issue by insuring that I had
all the deps
installed, then I removed the "cpan" requirement
from the "install" rule in
the bric makefile.

However, I still contend that my oriiginal post is either a
bug, or there is
a particular issue with MY cpan install.

Is there any way we can dig deeper to figure out the truth?

Well, sure...

I guess you could first try downgrading in `cpan` shell:

  cpan> install ANDK/CPAN-1.9202.tar.gz

[or whatever previous version, then restart or whatever]
and see if it doesn't occur then.
Then it would be a CPAN change.
It's possible it's been broken for a long time
but nobody noticed it.
