Use cpanm
cpanm or App::cpanminus cpanminus for short is a magnificent Perl tool for installing CPAN distributions (or your own distributions).
$ cpan App::cpanminus
If you want to keep a clean install, consider using local::lib
If you are using perlbrew you get cpanminus installed with perlbrew.
The author of App::cpanminus, Miyagawa, also made an introduction video.
