Hello, 

The description of this list says that it is for non-technical questions
regarding CPAN. Isn't everything about CPAN technical? What would be an
example of a non-technical question (except this question itself)?

I guess here is a non-technical question, Where do I go to ask
semi-technical questions like the one below?

"I keep trying to install modules using CPAN and they seem to download
alright, but I keep getting error messages like the following when it runs
make...
make: Warning: File `Makefile' has modification time 4.6e+05 s in the future
make[1]: warning:  Clock skew detected.  Your build may be incomplete.

I have checked my system time and it is valid.
I have checked my make program /usr/bin/make and its date is in the past.
I have check the date and time of the downloaded perl modules and their
makefile dates are also in the past. What is wrong? Any ideas"

Regards,

Keith
