Strawberry perl, Can't locate App/Cpan.pm

perl, strawberry-perl

Solution

"/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/msys"? You aren't running Strawberry Perl! The `cpan` file you are running was installed by another Perl. Try

C:\>c:\strawberry\perl\bin\perl -MCPAN -e shell

Problem

I installed the 32 bit version of Strawberry perl(5.14.2.1). I am able to run the perl command. When ever I run the `cpan` command I get the following error: ``` Can't locate App/Cpan.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/msys /usr/ lib/perl5/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/msys /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8 .8 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl .) at /c/strawberry/perl/bin/cpan line 5. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /c/strawberry/perl/bin/cpan line 5. ``` I migrated from the 64 bit version to the 32 bit version. The `cpan` command used to work when I was using the 64 bit version.
