in reply to CPAN install module error

I would much appreciate any pointers that could lead me to a successful resolution.

Use a something from this decade, perl 5.8.8 , CPAN 1.7602 are from a decade ago

this probably means you're using some system perl, its better not to mess with it , leave that to your operating system

install another perl, for example in your home directory or something

    Although I agree with this, mostly, it would be nice, AnonyMonk, if you could put up such responsible answers in a bit more reasonable way.
