&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;P&gt;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 &lt;tt&gt;dh-make-perl&lt;/tt&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;See &lt;a href="http://www.debian-administration.org/article/Building_Debian_packages_of_Perl_modules"&gt;this article&lt;/a&gt; I wrote on the subject a while back.&lt;/p&gt;
