upgrade info request

[Jon Miller]

I've been trying to install the file and all I'm getting is the following:
cpan> install Mail::SpamAssassin
CPAN: Storable loaded ok
LWP not available
CPAN: Net::FTP loaded ok
Fetching with Net::FTP:
  ftp://ftp.perl.org/pub/CPAN/authors/01mailrc.txt.gz

It just stays there, is there a way to check that the program is working properly?  Is there a conf file that I can look at to see if the source(s) are correct? or is there a way to rerun the perl configuration to choose another source.

Thanks

Jon

I think the "debian way" is to use apt, but I could be completely wrong

The perl modules list you provided looks like it is missing at least one
 important one:
