I can install perlbase-cpan and when I then add perlbase-unicore (the dependencies are not properly reflected in the packages) I do not have a cpan-script, but I can run 
perl -MCPAN -e shell

However: 
CPAN.pm requires configuration, but most of it can be done automatical
+ly.
If you answer 'no' below, you will enter an interactive dialog for eac
+h
configuration option instead.

Would you like to configure as much as possible automatically? [yes] y

Warning: You do not have write permission for Perl library directories
+.

To install modules, you need to configure a local Perl library directo
+ry or
escalate your privileges.  CPAN can help you by bootstrapping the loca
+l::lib
module or by configuring itself to use 'sudo' (if available).  You may
+ also
resolve this problem manually if you need to customize your setup.

What approach do you want?  (Choose 'local::lib', 'sudo' or 'manual')
 [local::lib]


Autoconfiguration complete.
