I had very much the same problem trying to use CPAN to update CPAN. The export
LANG cleared it up.

I had much the same results trying the same change. I put it back to the
original and then just put export LANG=en_US in /etc/bashrc.
Works for me, might not for you.

If the export LANG=en_US does not work for you, then maybe someone much more
knowledgeable than I can help.
I suspect that if you used CPAN to upgrade CPAN you will get the same type of
errors until you do the export.
