That does look good but I think the advice stands. Strangely enough I just had to go through this on the weekend so I have a "better" set of tips:

• Unset/clear all perl ENV entries: env | grep -i perl and clear them all out
• rm -rf ~/.cpan
• rm -rf ~/.cpanplus
• rm -rf ~/perl
  • And maybe: rm -rf ~/perl5 for good measure; clean start
• Start over: cd ; rm -rf local-lib*
• lwp-download http://URL-to... local::lib Download link
• tar xpfvz local-lib*
• cd local-lib...
• perl Makefile.PL --bootstrap
• make test && make install
• Follow the "bootstrapping" advice about how to get the new stuff visible in your shell. You might have to manually edit the .rc file of your shell of choice to make sure you don't have duplicate declarations.
  • This provides those in whatever dialect your shell is: cd ; perl -Iperl5/lib/perl5 -Mlocal::lib
• source .yourshrc
• Go, go, go.

Then I highly recommend installing App::cpanminus and favoring its cpanm over cpan or cpanp. It's much lighter and quicker than the others.

• cpan -i App::cpanminus
• rehash
• Take it for a tour and get lots of goodies: cpanm Task::Kensho or just a quick spin around the block to see it work at doing nothing in particular: cpanm Nothing::Tiny
