Hi,

First of, you missed to include certain details about your system,

I get the fallowing :

Hmm, Time::HiRes is in base

cpano conf prerequisites_policy ask

cpaninstall Time::HiRes
CPAN: Storable loaded ok
Going to read /root/.cpan/Metadata
Going to read /
CPAN: Compress::Zlib loaded ok
Going to read /

Then it freezes.

Worked here (with a -current system)

cpaninstall HTTP::Date

Any ideas ?

Remove your .cpan-dir and try again? tcpdump? ktrace it?
