Attention Perl Monks:

I'm trying to install some Perl modules using CPAN. (I don't know much 
about Perl or CPAN unforutnately.) I'm getting the following error 
message when I try to use this program to install the dependencies 
necessary to run the RT issue tracking software that I asked the list 
about recently:

[root at forums rt-3-0-6]# perl sbin/rt-test-dependencies --with-postgres 
--with-modperl1 --install
perl:
         5.8.0...found
MASON dependencies:
         Params::Validate 0.02...MISSING

Please check the validity of the index file by comparing it to more
than one CPAN mirror. I'll continue but problems seem likely to
happen.

Is it possible that whatever external program that is being used to 
download these files is doing the gunzip on the fly and messing up the 
perl script that is expecting a .gz file? Any other suggestions?
