Right and I was using this through the mcpani tool which just calls it. I think the issues were less with the API call (which doesn't do too much) and more with the tools that use the calls as well as some of the fine details.
The issue I had was not having to mirror CPAN, which seemed to be part and parcel of how the tools operated and every tutorial on the subject. I figured out how to get around this (note my prev response in this thread).
There is a remaining issue which is cpanp needs the version number to do the install and it isn't clear why this is.

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).
