in reply to Installing Modules
I second (third?) the previous comments. If you're upon Ubuntu you shouldn't install modules via CPAN, as there will be confusion sooner or later.
However all is not lost - if there is a module you wish to you which isn't availalbe as .deb you can create it, using dh-make-perl.
See this article I wrote on the subject a while back.
