Agreed that CPAN is a huge time saver. Not all modules on CPAN are written with automatic installation in mind, unfortunately - as you've seen, some tests depend on environment variables or other additional configuration that doesn't fit into the CPAN.pm installation scheme.
A bigger problem that has cost me many hours is when critical documentation lives in the tarball's README file, but not in the module's perldoc.
