Hi Nathan and thanks for the prompt reply :-)

This message is coming from checks in /usr/share/pcp/lib/pmdaproc.sh which
is attempting to verify the pcp/perl setup - in particular, it runs a hunk
of shell code alot like this:

perl -e 'use PCP::PMDA' 2>/dev/null
if test $? -ne 0
then
  echo 'Perl PCP::PMDA module is not installed, install it and try again'
  exit 1
fi

So what does "sudo perl -e 'use PCP::PMDA'" print out? Â(and whats the exit
code, cos thats ultimately preventing the Install from proceeding).

That's ... wierd. ÂHave never come across this issue myself, testing a stock
Debian install. ÂBut, the answer might come from the perl diagnostics above,
hopefully - let us know what you find.

cheers.
