    This is one of those situations where CPAN and the dependencies have some problems. "cpanm" is great, and I use it all the time; however, this time the problem isn't with cpanm. Try this cpan script: 
    #!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;
use CPAN;

CPAN::Shell->force('install',

      Don't force installs unless you know exactly what you're doing. Bad advice to give to someone who is having problems installing modules.

        No, I tested it thoroughly. It's the right advice. And what have you tried?
