I think this may have happened to me before, but I'm not really sure what to do. I was installing Carp::Always and got the below failure messages. I was using Git Bash instead of the normal Windows cmd line (I am using Strawberry Perl on Windows 7). Then I opened the Windows cmd line and ran CPAN again, and "install Carp::Always" again, and it told me it was already up-to-date. What are the chances that I have some sort of corrupted installation now / what should I do?

Last X lines of the install, it was really long. Basically it detected a bunch of other dependencies and started installing them as well, but then this happened:
