My onion2+ gadget has "perl 5, version 22, subversion 1 (v5.22.1) built for mipsel-linux-musl"

It has no cpanm/-MCPAN/ppm installed, on the FS, or visible in any opkg repos.

I get this when I tried the obvious:- 

root@Omega-C50F:~/un/Bundle-CPAN-1.862# perl Makefile.PL
Can't locate strict.pm in @INC (you may need to install the strict mod
+ule) (@INC contains: /usr/lib/perl5/5.22 .) at Makefile.PL line 1.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at Makefile.PL line 1.

[download]

And this when I pulled "use strict" out of the Makefile.PL 

root@Omega-C50F:~/un/Bundle-CPAN-1.862# perl Makefile.PL 
Can't locate ExtUtils/MakeMaker.pm in @INC (you may need to install th
+e ExtUtils::MakeMaker module) (@INC contains: /usr/lib/perl5/5.22 .) 
+at Makefile.PL line 1.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at Makefile.PL line 1.

[download]

and I'm pretty sure MakeMaker is going to lead to dependancy nightmare...
similar story for CPAN.pm itself (missing strict.pm, vars.pm, MakeMaker too, etc)

For now, I'm not interested in XS or binary - just pure-perl modules.

What's the procedure to bootstrap a working perl environment? (I got the executable via "opkg install perl")
