Description of problem: The perl configuration file libnet.cfg controls whether perl CPAN requests use active or passive FTP. On x86_64 installations, this file has been placed in /usr/lib64/perl5/5.8.5/Net and has no effect on FTP. All the other libnet files are in their usual place of /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.5/Net. If this file is copied to /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.5/Net, then it is effective. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): perl-5.8.5-36.RHEL4 How reproducible: always occurs Steps to Reproduce: new installation of RHEL 4 on x86_64 platform Actual results: file /usr/lib64/perl5/5.8.5/Net/libnet.cfg is created. This has no effect. Expected results: this file should be /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.5/Net/libnet.cfg
