CPAN fix for perl for optware

I have optware on my router with 32mb and I got perl but the module I wanted wasn't available via ipkg so I went
to use CPAN to find it wouldn't work...
Even if I did configure it correctly (i'm 99% sure i did since i had expert help) it would have taken days to do
anything as using swap made it slooooooow) I started off with this site
http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/HowTo/ConfigureCPAN and that didn't cut it.

I moved over to using cpanm - https://github.com/miyagawa/cpanminus
but that gave an error so i did this

With that cpanm works good and you just need the proper ipkgs prior to using it...

i can't say what if all of these you need:

binutils
expat
glib
grep
gzip
less
libc6-unslung
libdb
libgcc
libxml2
lynx
man
ncftp
ncursesw
