I am currently trying to reinstall the DynaLoader from the CPAN command
line... but it won't do it as I get this message:

Running install for module DynaLoader

The module DynaLoader isn't available on CPAN.

Either the module has not yet been uploaded to CPAN, or it is
temporary unavailable. Please contact the author to find out
more about the status. Try 'i DynaLoader'.

Anyone has any ideas on how to correct this problem?

Thanks

Joseph

That's not much information - it might be worth mentioning:

the version of Perl

the version of CPAN

the output of the perlbug program

and possibly any info about your current config of CPAN...

DynaLoader is part of the core perl installation. It should have already
been loaded along with perl. It is not packaged as a separate CPAN module
because it should already be included with every perl. I admit the CPAN
error message is a bit misleading here.

If you let us know just why you are trying to install DynaLoader, then
perhaps we can help solve your problem.

I see no problem. Why should you reinstall the Dynaloader. Did you
accidentally remove it? If so, there's no way short of reinstalling
perl or getting it from a backup.
