$PATH gives me 
-bash: /Users/user/perl5/perlbrew/bin:/Users/user/perl5/perlbrew/perls
+/perl-5.14.1/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X1
+1/bin: No such file or directory

I think I'm getting somewhere now. I added the following line to my bash profile 
export PATH=/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:$PATH

[download]
That also changes my perl version to the one in /opt/local/bin but I can invoke cpan with 
sudo /Users/user/perl5/perlbrew/perls/perl-5.14.1/bin/perl5.14.1 -MCPA
+N -e shell

Now when I try to install GD it nearly succeeds, failing 1 test out of 13 which seems to be something to do with the JPEG library. I'll have to figure that out tomorrow as I'm exhausted now. Thanks for the help.
