in reply to Can't install CPAN modules

If you want to use CPAN rather than PPM, it might be worth having a look at Strawberry Perl as that comes with a C compiler and all the other requirements for CPAN

    Actually so does Active State's Perl package as of about 5.10.

    It's hard to imagine how the OP got a modern install of Perl (assuming it to be such) on to their system without getting a compiler and support for using cpan.

    True laziness is hard work
