I also just upgraded/added a bunch of modules using CPAN (1.9205). I get similar errors, but have been able to fix one of them by installing an older version of Parse::RecDescent:

cpan[12]> m Parse::RecDescent
Catching error: 'Can\'t locate auto/main/version/("".al in @INC (@INC
contains: /opt/perl/perl-5.8.8/lib/5.8.8/sun4-solaris

Now this works.

cpan[13]> m Parse::RecDescent

I was tipped to this when building Module::ExtractUse (0.22):

This hasn't completely fixed the problem, but I'm getting fewer errors.

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• 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.
