That might or might not work. A lot of the CPAN modules require support subroutines written in C. So the OP would need a C compiler licensed on z/OS. And, even then, I don't know if the CPAN C source would compiler on z/OS. Much of it is based on other libraries (many from GNU) which might not exist on z/OS.
