If it was working before, what changed?
I cannot say that every install was always smooth. But usually it would fail somewhere in the test. I don't remember having these difficulties. It used to be the case that I could install a module, it would pull in a few dependencies and only occasionally fail. I cannot think of anything that has changed that would explain it.
Are there other users with your level of access to that machine?
No. Obviously there is the service provider but I don't think perl support is in the service agreement. It's all down to me.
What about ENV (environment variables)? check your ~/.bashrc , is there anything new in there for paths, libs etc? Check for symlinks in /usr/lib/perl* between directories
minimal

Edit: I forgot to mention I don't get these issues on the test machine.
