My CPAN is the version that came with my distro, which is devuan ( debian wo systemd ... I LIKE old things! )

/usr/local/bin/cpan version 1.64 calling Getopt::Std::getopts (version
+ 1.13 [paranoid]),
running under Perl version 5.36.0.
  [Now continuing due to backward compatibility and excessive paranoia
+.
   See 'perldoc Getopt::Std' about $Getopt::Std::STANDARD_HELP_VERSION
+.]
Nothing to install!

I got the suggestion in response to a search attempt gone awry ... I guess this all brings up another question ... is there, by any chance, a curated version of CPAN, with the modules that are no longer useful removed or at least pushed to the background .... It can be frustrating using the full set ... got very excited about the WWW::Mechanize::Firefox module at one point ... turned out that Firefox removed the code that allowed it to work long ago ...

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.
