in thread Perl module Parse::CPAN::Authors - installation fails permanent

The simple.t failed because of an insecure $ENV{PATH} when running under -T. -T stands for "enable tainting checks". Perl goes into paranoid mode and obsessively/compulsively does run-time checking of all the paths of execution that the script could take; hence it's looking at all the paths and not getting any. You'll need to set $ENV{PATH} something like this in your script:
$ENV{'PATH'} = '/bin:/usr/bin';
Or in your terminal:
export PATH=/bin:/usr/bin
