I tried to install the PAR::Packer module on a Ubuntu 10.04 system with Perl 5.10.1 from the cpan shell. The install failed; these seem to be the relevant error messages:

*** You have extra Perl library paths set in your environment.
    Please note that these paths (set with PERL5LIB or PERLLIB)
    are not honored by perl when running under taint mode, which
    may lead to problems. This is a limitation (by design) of
    Perl, not of PAR::Packer; but some of the problems may
    manifest here during installation

and

What do I do to fix this? Thanks for any help.

Edit: here's a bigger chunk of the console output:
