populace of Stack Exchange. As my subject indicates, I am trying to bootstrap the pinto (Pinto) perl module management application on a machine running Debian Gnu/Linux. I have already had pinto running on a different (Cygwin Perl) system for some months, so I thought I knew my way around the setup. But over the last two days I’ve gotten the same error in the terminal when trying to set up:
! Couldn't find module or a distribution Pinto
This message is (obviously?) coming from cpanm, which the Pinto setup script bootstraps, when cpanm attempts to download Pinto and its dependencies from the online repository its author had set up. That repo has the url “https://www.stratopan.com/thaljef/OpenSource/pinto-release”. It looks like a network problem, doesn’t it? When I do
$ ping -c 4 www.stratopan.com
I get no replies to my ping. But when I point a browser at https://www.stratopan.com I land on an active home page, although Firefox warns me about expired certificates.
A reply that includes suggestions for working around that site would be much appreciated.
