Hi Lorenzo,

I see the same with 5.24.0 32bit, however, I think SDL is not installed. At least I don't find it in the Release Notes.
After installing it, cpan -D SDL reports "up to date".

Update: The problem seems to be cpan reporting "up to date" for any not installed module:
cpan> r Nonexisting::Module
All modules are up to date for Nonexisting::Module

This is not restricted to Strawberry, just confirmed it on my hoster's Linux (System Perl, 5.20.something)

Update 2: What you want is probably cpan's i or m command:

cpan> m SDL
Module id = SDL
    CPAN_USERID  FROGGS (Tobias Leich <froggs@cpan.org>)
    CPAN_VERSION 2.546
    CPAN_FILE    F/FR/FROGGS/SDL-2.546.tar.gz
    UPLOAD_DATE  2015-04-27
    INST_FILE    (not installed)

(before installing it) versus (afterwards)
Module id = SDL
    CPAN_USERID  FROGGS (Tobias Leich <froggs@cpan.org>)
    CPAN_VERSION 2.546
    CPAN_FILE    F/FR/FROGGS/SDL-2.546.tar.gz
    UPLOAD_DATE  2015-04-27
    INST_FILE    C:\Install\perl-5.24.0.1\perl\site\lib\SDL.pm
    INST_VERSION 2.546
