To make a long story short, I was trying to get procmail support added to my sendmail base in order to get maildir (instead of mbox)....
IS that "F8" as in "Fedora 8"?
Fedora 8 is no longer supported......
Yes, I know, but it will apply to later versions. I am trying to clean out "activation" of the CPAN method stuff which broke. Maybe there is no harm there, but I am not certain.
So, if anyone has any suggestions or ideas what I can try, I am all ears! :D
Did you try finding ExtUtils/MakeMaker.pm?
On my (nicely up to date and fully supported ;o) F12, it is provided by this RPM:
[sam@samlap ~]$ rpm -qf /usr/lib/perl5/5.10.0/ExtUtils/MakeMaker.pm perl-ExtUtils-MakeMaker-6.36-87.fc12.x86_64
Try (forcibly if necessary) reinstalling the following:
http://archive.kernel.org/fedora-archive/updates/8/i386.newkey/perl-ExtUtils...
Then retry CPAN and see what happens. It's usually just a case of tracking what's missing until you get the initial startup to succeed...
Also, can I ask what howto you were following for Sendmail/Procmail - it may help to give context to the problem.

Somehow, I am not seeing my original posting, so I am including the following where there seems to be a problem:
# perl -MCPAN -e shell Can't locate CPAN.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.7/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.6/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.7 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.6 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.7/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.6/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.5/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.7 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.6 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.5 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8 .). BEGIN failed--compilation aborted.
The above problem appears for certain services that depend on perl are trying to run but fails, one which is spamassassin, which throws up errors similar to the one above.
I have re-installed perl & perl-* (which includes: perl-ExtUtils-MakeMaker & perl-ExtUtils-MakeMaker-Coverage) and the problem does not seem to go away.
==============
As per your request for the link to install procmail/sendmail in order to get the maildir format, I was following this one:
