downloading cpan modules, i doubt it but don't know. I have never had any problem before however with these i think it tried to install perl again somewhere, i cancelled it and nothing appeared to go wrong although i probably have a few pointless files somewhere. That probably does not inspire you with confidance but i have installed quite a few modules this way and never ever had a problem and this was probably me just not understand what was going on so i wouldn't worry. Otherwise just use the modules in the file.

Can't send it to you, it has probably been taken down to sort the headers and things out.
