I'm having the same problem. I had hoped to finish a project tonight,
but it requires Net::FTP so I'm fighting the libnet-1.08 issue
instead. I can tell you two things I tried but that didn't help at
all. 1) Renaming all libnet-1.08 to libnet-1.06 in the Metadata file.
I thought it'd consider it an older version and install the more
recent 1.0704. No luck, it just tried to download 1.06. 2) Replace
all libnet-1.08 with libnet-1.0704. Again nope... CPAN complains that
Metadata is corrupt and downloads a new one.
