It's a long time since I've done it, but I think CPAN puts some
variables in your .bashrc to configure the process.  First you should
run 'perl -V' to see if there are any entries that aren't the system
wide location - you are looking for the @INC path and/or variables like
$PERL_LOCAL_LIB_ROOT

If they are ok, at the CPAN prompt do 'o conf' to see what CPAN thinks
the config is - I think the crucial options are the ones that start
"mbuild_". 

Ultimately you can redo the CPAN config by 'o conf init'.

The build and locations are influenced by some environment variables
setup by rpmbuild - I have a feeling that the perl build process is
using different locations to the rpmbuild so everything is getting
confused.
