Bingo! Check the docs for ExtUtils::AutoInstall:
If you do not wish to put a copy of ExtUtils::AutoInstall under inc/,
+and are confident that users will have internet access, you may repla
+ce the use lib 'inc'; line with this block of code:
# ExtUtils::AutoInstall Bootstrap Code, version 7.
BEGIN{my$p='ExtUtils::AutoInstall';my$v=0.45;$p->VERSION||0>=$v
or+eval"use $p $v;1"or+do{my$e=$ENV{PERL_EXTUTILS_AUTOINSTALL};
(!defined($e)||$e!~m/--(?:default|skip|testonly)/and-t STDIN or
eval"use ExtUtils::MakeMaker;WriteMakefile(PREREQ_PM=>{'$p',$v}
);1"and exit)and print"==> $p $v required. Install it from CP".
"AN? [Y/n] "and<STDIN>!~/^n/i and print"*** Installing $p\n"and
do{if (eval '$>' and lc(`sudo -V`) =~ /version/){system('sudo',

I really, really detest all the various autoinstallers.
I'd report the use of AutoInstall as a bug for the module that is failing.

Ok, I'm not sure if I understand all of what's going on, but point is, I did try to install another module, selected more or less randomly, and it went flawlessly. So... how fun! I was just unfortunate with that particular module... Time to ask the admins a favour! ;-)
