Did you really run that and actually install Bundle::CPAN? Are there instructions somewhere telling you to run it like that?

There's no -e switch to cpan, and the argument 'install Bundle::CPAN' should be treated as a single argument. There isn't any module named 'install Bundle::CPAN' so nothing happens. That is, if you're running the real cpan script and not some vendor modified one, in which case I'd like to see what they've done.

The command you want is one of:

% sudo cpan Bundle::CPAN

% sudo perl -MCPAN -e 'install Bundle::CPAN'

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
