You have carefully elided both parts of information that would help us diagnose the Perl part of your question. Please provide us with the exact error message, preferrably including the module name that fails (for example, Test::Yaml), the module you were trying to install, and @INC as printed by Perl.
There are broken module distributions that don't list all modules they need. For exmample, the test suite for some module might rely on Test::YAML without declaring so. Then you would see this failure. The CPAN Testers Website collects the test results of all CPAN module and maybe can tell you more about the status of the various modules.
Google tells me this failure report when looking for "can't locate test/yaml.pm".

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
