I should have mentioned in the first post that there were more than one failed attempts on each Perl install. I tried multiple times to install both Object::InsideOut and Math::Random::MT::Auto but each required the other. Some of the other dependencies of Data::GUID::Any I was able to install but unfortunately I didn't keep a log of what I did. The work laptop will only connect through a corporate vpn so I assumed it was some weirdness there but I saw the same problem on the personal laptop. Then it all started working on both machines.
