Essentially you have 2 choices: either fix your broken CPAN installation or just install the dist by hand. I would do the latter, viz:

  1. Download the tarball
  2. Untar it
  3. perl Makefile.PL
  4. Resolve any unmet dependencies
  5. make && make test && sudo make install

You may want to install it somewhere other than the default, so set PERL_MM_OPT first if so.
