I run
>perl -MCPAN -e shell
cpan>install Devel::REPL
It gave me a lot of output on the screen. But eventually the
installation failed. I only paste the last a few lines of the output
since the entire output is too long. Could you let me know how to fix
the problem?
BTW, ~/.cpan/CPAN/MyConfig.pm is pasted at the end.
