Oh, I wasted LOTS of time doing this. :-) I think, had I known how to do it, it wouldn't have taken much longer than your 2 minutes. The two 20 minute waits (and I didn't time them accurately - that's an estimate) were for the installation of the C compiler and ?make utility. Without that the computer time would have been much shorter. But even the 40 minutes for that was only a small part of the time I wasted not knowing what to do and googling frenetically. That's why I thought it might be worth putting up the OP in case someone found themselves in the same boat.

I'm interested to see you using wget instead of the two tools I'd heard of previously. Is this documented anywhere? Especially, is there any documentation on which to use and when? As I stated in the OP, the only ones I've ever tried are PPM and the CPAN shell (I've also used Debian's apt-get on the Pi).

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
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).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
