cpan incorrectly renaming files when attempting to install/update?
[gemini]$ cpan
Terminal does not support AddHistory.
cpan[1]> install Digest::MD5
CPAN: Storable loaded ok (v2.20)
CPAN: LWP::UserAgent loaded ok (v6.13)
CPAN: Time::HiRes loaded ok (v1.9721)
Fetching with LWP:
http://cpan-du.viaverio.com//authors/01mailrc.txt.gz
LWP failed with code[500] message[Can't connect to cpan-du.viaverio.com:80 (Network is unreachable)]
Trying with "/usr/bin/curl -L -f -s -S --netrc-optional" to get
"http://cpan-du.viaverio.com//authors/01mailrc.txt.gz"
CPAN: Compress::Zlib loaded ok (v2.021)
Error while trying to rename '/home/gemini21/.cpan/sources/authors/01mailrc.txt.gz.tmp69' to '/home/gemini21/.cpan/sources/authors/01mailrc.txt.gz': No such file or directory
Terminal does not support GetHistory.
Lockfile removed.
[gemini]$ ls -al authors
-rw-r--r-- 1 gemini21 gemini21 235374 Aug 11 23:14 01mailrc.txt.tmp69
-rw-r--r-- 1 gemini21 gemini21 235432 Aug 11 23:14 01mailrc.txt.tmp69.gz
The downloaded files are named differently from what cpan is trying to work with. This happens on everything I try to install with cpan. Any thoughts?

Sorry for the problem with cpan. One thing to remember is that you're working on a shared server where many things are protected in layers in order to be able to server multiple customers. So, it's very possible that the files you're trying to use are named differently in order to accommodate usage on a shared server. If you want to use the cpan commands and the file structures that you're familiar with, then you will need to be on either a VPS or Dedicated server with root access.
Apologies for the current issues and that we directly resolve the file issues that you're seeing. If you have any further questions or comments, please let us know.
