Thank you so much for the detailed instructions !

But, life is not so simple :) I got as far as doing "perl Makefile.PL --bootstrap". Towards the end, I get the error below.

By the way, don't I have to configure CPAN before running makefile.pl? When I try going to CPAN shell, and running one of the 2 selected commands below, it seems like, I will need to configure all other parameters also...

==Error Begin==

You have not configured a urllist and do not allow connections to the internet to get a list of mirrors. If you wish to get a list of CPAN mirrors to pick from, use this command

o conf init connect_to_internet_ok urllist

If you do not wish to get a list of mirrors and would prefer to set your urllist manually, use just this command instead

o conf init urllist

==Error End==
