FreeBSD 4.3R

When I run

perl -MCPAN -e 'install Bundle::CPAN'

Running make test
   Delayed until after prerequisites
Running make install
   Delayed until after prerequisites
Compress::Zlib is up to date.
Archive::Tar is up to date.
Data::Dumper is up to date.
Net::Telnet is up to date.
Running install for module Net::Cmd
Running make for G/GB/GBARR/libnet-1.0703.tar.gz

   CPAN: MD5 security checks disabled because MD5 not installed.
   Please consider installing the MD5 module.

/usr/bin/tar: Hmm, this doesn't look like a tar archive.
/usr/bin/tar: Skipping to next file header...
/usr/bin/tar: only read 6764 bytes from archive 
/root/.cpan/sources/authors/id/G/GB/GBARR/libnet-1.0703.tar.gz
Using Tar:/usr/bin/tar xvf 
/root/.cpan/sources/authors/id/G/GB/GBARR/libnet-1.0703.tar.gz:
/usr/bin/tar: Hmm, this doesn't look like a tar archive.
/usr/bin/tar: Skipping to next file header...

Couldn't untar /root/.cpan/sources/authors/id/G/GB/GBARR/libnet-1.0703.tar.gz

So what´s the pb with tar.gz from that doesn´t look like a tar archive?

And this is broken, too:

# perl -MCPAN -e 'install Net::FTP'
Can't locate object method "install" via package "Net::FTP" (perhaps you 
forgot to load "Net::FTP"?) at -e line 1.

and

# perl -MCPAN -e 'install HTTP::Date'
Can't locate object method "install" via package "HTTP::Date" (perhaps you 
forgot to load "HTTP::Date"?) at -e line 1.

Earlier on this machine, I was able to the above command to install 
Date::Calc for pflogsumm.pl (postifx log summarizer), and when I try to 
re-install it, it does say "Date::Calc up to date"

Thanks,
Len
