Thanks hubb0r, that makes sense. I just don't understand why I get so many errors and failed installs.

Here's what Pair has me doing:

ssh myusername@servername.pair.com.

enter password

/usr/local/bin/perl -MCPAN -e shell

cpan> o conf makepl_arg LIB=/usr/home/myusername/modules
cpan> install CPAN::Modulename

[look for -- OK] (rare)
q
exit

[download]

Oh, and it looks like I'm using SSH.
