Thank you Kahlil for your reply.
I made few perl changes, uninstalled CPAN, removed the .cpan dir, and reinstalled, and ran 'install CPAN' and everything looked much better. That is, no failures. The last part of the output was;
<snip>
t/97-mock.t ................... ok
t/97-process_options.t ........ ok
t/97-process_setup_options.t .. ok
t/97-return_values.t .......... ok
All tests successful.
Files=30, Tests=815, 79 wallclock secs ( 0.55 usr 0.04 sys + 57.45 cusr 6.75 csys = 64.79 CPU)
Result: PASS
ANDK/CPAN-2.10.tar.gz
/usr/bin/make test -- OK
Running make install
Appending installation info to /root/perl5/lib/perl5/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/perllocal.pod
ANDK/CPAN-2.10.tar.gz
/usr/bin/make install -- OK
<end>
And that's it. Ran reload CPAN and it still shows v 1.98. Getting much closer? Any ideas?
Thanks again,
James

Subject: Re: CPAN issues
CPAN is a core module which can be tricky to update on the RedHat based
systems.
Suggest investigating:
local::lib
App::cpanminus
