I've hit a wall just after starting to learn perl. Mainly when I try to install packages it seems to install fine but then I try to use the Linux bash shell commands and it gives me the message

bash: cpanm: command not found...

This is one of the ways I tried to install cpanminus

downloaded package from http://search.cpan.org/dist/App-cpanminus/
navigated to download folder
typed:
tar zxf App-cpanminus-1.7004.tar.gz
cd App-cpanminus-1.7004/
perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install

[download]

The following is the CUI Screen readout
