I'm trying to use CPAN to download and install some Perl modules but it complains that the --decompress flag is incorrect (looks like it should be -d instead).

Any ideas how I can get around this? Is there a specific version of gzip I need to install that supports the flag?

Maybe you are using the busybox gzip, have you installed the ffp package of gzip?

I've tried both.. neither seem to recognise the --decompress flag.. or any that I can find either...

ffp version of gzip does support --decompress. Try it again.

Cheers.. it was pointing at the right one, but must've been out of date... I've updated it and now it's churning away doing its thing...

Hmm.. it chunters away for a while downloading modules etc. and then comes to a halt with two pink lights on the front of the NAS.. a quick investigation indicates that rootfs is at 100%...

I guess it's CPAN downloading stuff into the RAM fs.. just got to figure out if it can be diverted elsewhere...
