troubles installing Perl modules with CPAN.pm

Hi,
I am trying to install a couple of Perl modules, using the CPAN.pm module. The Version of CPAN.pm provided with OS X 10.1 was a bit older, I got the new one using the same module, no problems. Then installed FTP.pm, no problemo either. Then tried Bundle::LWP, only went well when I did force install LWP.
Neither the DBI, nor DBD::mysql, nor DBD::CSV, nor GD could be installed properly. CPAN went through the moves, but eventually some of its tests failed and it could not terminate the install, not even with force.
Currently I am having problems with the terminal, since I am in a local network and now it seems everything is being referred to that network instead of my Mac's /Library, but it also did not finish correctly when the Terminal was still working oK. Only problem is that now I cannot get the original error message and have to logout soon.
Are those problems with CPAN known, are there workarounds, or do you simply need more data?
Cheerio, yogi
