Do as I did here:

cpanm --look Net::Curl::Easy

[download]

It will download the module to a temporary directory, then drop you into a shell. You can make your changes then install with:

cpanm -v .

[download]

Note that the -v is simply the verbose flag, so it prints to screen what it's doing.

If you're going to build things from source it's pretty much essential that you check for open bugs. Your OS package management may already have this module bundled up for you. With respect it's unreasonable to expect this module to be abandoned, and while I understand that you're frustrated/tired/grumpy, not everyone will encounter this problem. Your OS upgrade may have changed the compiler/build tools. For me this module installs via cpanm without issue. So don't be angry that you've spent a long time trying to get this working. Embrace the fact that you know how to deal with the situation and in future that you will check the open issues for such things when building from source.
