If the "cpan" command is not available, try:

# perl -MCPAN -e shell

which invokes the same thing.

Hope this solves the problem!

I'm not sure what's going on, sorry.  My guess is that gcc_s is
some kind of shared version of the gcc library that you didn't
have.  Looking through the Makefile generated by the perl module,
I don't see it needing anything like that, so this may be some
strange requirement in the RPM.  Anyway, if it works, it works.
