Perhaps, it wasn't a clean install after all, I will have to do it
again(it did have previous older fedora and I just installed them
blindly(while at work, just pressed
next next next...).
but I was able to install CPAN.pm and it is working but perhaps I will
reinstall them.
I have personal linux station at work but i am installing them over 2
laptop and another pc at work to really push myself to linux world(and
perl)
thanks!! (will read perlmodinstall )
