+title: cpanm error "No such file or directory opening compressed index"
+category: Perl
+tags:
+  - cpan
+---
+
+If you ever get this error while installing a module `cpanm`:
+
+```
+! Finding install on cpanmetadb failed.
+! cannot open file '/root/.cpanm/sources/http%www.cpan.org/02packages.details.txt.gz': No such file or directory opening compressed index
+! Couldn't find module or a distribution install
+```
+
+The problem is caused by not having the `LWP::Protocol::https` module
+installed, and the solution is to run `cpanm` with the `--no-lwp` option or
+installing `LWP::Protocol::https`.
