OK, so you do that command, to open up a shell, *within* the cpan shell, manually install it with the paramater --perl_only *and* any other parameters I set in the cpan shell -

That's not obvious AT ALL, but I appreciate the pointers. Maybe next time, post, not anonymously and perhaps a bit more friendly? I'm a friendly guy, this is a friendly place.
