If you haven't configured CPAN yet, stick with the defaults the config
script proposes. Then you should do a

cpan> install Bundle::CPAN
cpan> reload cpan

and maybe

cpan> install HTTP::Date

to update these modules to their latest releases. Then continue as shown
above. Apt wanting to install additional packages may be right, though,
because File::MMagic may very well depend on other modules to function.
