When you configured CPAN, at one point it asked what the path was to the
gzip binary, with the default "/bin/gzip". You typed "y", thinking that 
you were accepting the default, but in fact by typing "y" you were
actually telling it that the full path to the gzip binary is "y".

You need to reconfigure the CPAN module to fix this.
