I wanted to build an awesome place for people to discuss module specific issues, but I don't have any more time for this, and there are much better places to discuss Perl-related issues. I'd recommend asking your question on Stack Overflow or on Perl Monks.
If you are looking for a Perl tutorial or Perl-related news, I hope these links will serve you well.

CPAN - >report update -> looks for module that is not installed
I recently ran cpan - report update function. Cpan seems to want to look for a module that is not installed and fails when it can't be found:
cpan[1]> r CPAN: Storable loaded ok (v2.18) . . . Found 66 old builds, restored the state of 66 Package namespace installed latest in CPAN file Apache::SOAP 0.60 0.710005 MKUTTER/SOAP-Lite-0.710.08.tar.gz Catching error: 'Could not open \'/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10/GPS/PRN.pm\': No such file or direc +tory at /usr/lib/perl5/5.10/ExtUtils/MM_Unix.pm line 2693. ' at /usr/lib/perl5/5.10/CPAN.pm line 281 CPAN::shell() called at /usr/bin/cpan line 198
I don't think that I have ever installed this module (GPS::PRN, although I may have ok'd it as a dependency). Anyway, what tells CPAN to look for that module? How can I remove any pieces or references to GPS::PRN? Thank you.
