mcpan on CentOS 5.2

[DizzyD]

So I was following the guide here:
http://www.isp-control.net/documentation...ion/centos

To install on centos. Everything was going smoothly until i hit the cmd:

Code:

# cat ./docs/CentOS/centos-perl | xargs -I {} perl -MCPAN -e 'install {}'

I assume its trying to automatically install the perl modules but once it hits the "Select your continent" part it just keeps repeating at lightening speeds!

I think you get the idea. SO what do you recommend? Can I change that command to prompt me for each question? Perhaps that's the problem? Thanks for any help!

To sum things up, here is my question. How else can I install the required perl modules other then typing:

Code:

cat ./docs/CentOS/centos-perl | xargs -I {} perl -MCPAN -e 'install {}'

Thanks for any help.
