I've only tried using the CPAN a couple of times and it never worked for me either the error I've gotten is as follows:
Makefile:653: *** missing separator. Stop.
c:\MinGW\bin\make.exe -- NOT OK
Running make test
Can't test without successful make
Running make install
make had returned bad status, install seems impossible
Running make for A/AN/ANDK/CPAN-1.63.tar.gz
Is already unwrapped into directory \perl\.cpan\build\CPAN-1.63\.
CPAN.pm: Going to build A/AN/ANDK/CPAN-1.63.tar.gz
Makefile:680: *** missing separator. Stop.
c:\MinGW\bin\make.exe -- NOT OK
Running make test
Can't test without successful make
Running make install
make had returned bad status, install seems impossible
If this information could lead to a solution I would like to hear it too.
