    ...curl works, wget works

    Hmmm, one/both of the above is/are self-evidently not true - look at the error returned from the OS during the rename:

    Error while trying to rename '/Users/me/.cpan/sources/authors/01mailrc +.txt.gz.tmp604' to '/Users/me/.cpan/sources/authors/01mailrc.txt.gz': + No such file or directory
    That shouts loudly (to me anyway) that the download of /Users/me/.cpan/sources/authors/01mailrc.txt.gz.tmp604 failed ... quietly.

    A user level that continues to overstate my experience :-))
      I expect LWP to fail as well
