the file 02packages.details.txt.gz is 1.3MB compressed. If you run out of memory uncompressing that then...

As marto suggested, try something with low memory footprint (cpanm) OR maybe you should tell cpan exactly what module you want installed rather than starting with a shell which will try to bring itself up-to-date. The guide posted contains how to increase RAM via SWAP on USB. If you master that, then a lot of other problems you may encounter in the future can be solved.

You want something like "perl-devel" (or whatever name) installed for EXTERN.h. Either via your linux's packet manager or cpan. You also have the choice of installing perl modules exclusively via the packet manager of your system. Let the packet manager deal with it and forget the cpan installers - surely the former will be a bit more aware of low-memory-systems.
