...when I tried to install it from CPAN, test t/01-dh of the prerequisite Crypt-DH package hung.

yeah, when I had built Crypt::DH, I thought so too... so I aborted the test after a couple of minutes. But looking at the test source, I then figured it might just take a little longer. So, I reran the tests, and they did in fact complete. You have to be patient though :) The last group of tests (#16-18) use a somewhat larger prime (4096 bits). On my (pretty decent) machine, this took over half an hour: 

~/.cpan/build/Crypt-DH-0.06 $ make test
PERL_DL_NONLAZY=1 /usr/bin/perl "-MExtUtils::Command::MM" "-e" "test_h
+arness(0, 'inc', 'blib/lib', 'blib/arch')" t/00-compile.t t/01-dh.t
t/00-compile....ok                                                    
+       
t/01-dh.........ok                                                    
+       
All tests successful.
