Re: [fetchyahoo-general] newbie with install/first time running issue

[Ravi R. <rav...@ya...>]

Hi,

I think deleting the lock file is OK if there are no other cpan perl 
processes open  (ps aux|grep perl) .

You might need to contact CPAN devs / mailing list / support if you are 
having trouble with CPAN.

Thanks,
Ravi.
