CPAN checks if an install is actually needed for it and prints
module up
to date in the case that the distribution file containing the
module
doesn't need to be updated.
CPAN also keeps track of what it has done within the current
session and
doesn't try to build a package a second time regardless if it
succeeded
or not. The "force" command takes as a first argument the method
to
invoke (currently: "make", "test", or "install") and executes
the command
from scratch.

OpenGL is up to date.
cpan> force install OpenGL
Running make
