He doesn't need to install from CPAN, I very much doubt it will help him.
Downloading the tar.gz and installing manually does just the same thing. I
prefer not to use CPAN as it is all too keen to upgrade my entire Perl
installation, which isn't much good when I am trying to test whether things
work with various versions of Perl for you guys.
I've never had any problem compiling from source, except for one or two of
the spamd tests failing on some odd Unix versions. And as MS doesn't use
spamd anyway, they don't matter.
