in reply to CPAN Errors on install

Perlmonks doesn't need pastebins. Also, what you pasted isn't very diagnostic 
Warning: No success on command[/usr/local/bin/perl Makefile.PL]

So Makefile.PL failed somehow, try running it manually to see why/how.

Re^2: CPAN Errors on install

    When I run perl Makefile.PL from the package directory directly, it creates the makefile just fine. It's only from CPAN that the module does not want to create the makefile.

        cpanp struggled and then left me with Out of Memory!, since the box only has 128k. No idea, man.
