Did you really run that and actually install Bundle::CPAN? Are there instructions somewhere telling you to run it like that?

There's no -e switch to cpan, and the argument 'install Bundle::CPAN' should be treated as a single argument. There isn't any module named 'install Bundle::CPAN' so nothing happens. That is, if you're running the real cpan script and not some vendor modified one, in which case I'd like to see what they've done.

The command you want is one of: 

% sudo cpan Bundle::CPAN

% sudo perl -MCPAN -e 'install Bundle::CPAN'
