I usually avoid using cpan to update modules on SuSE to ensure an easier 
upgrade later and also because many times, one module will fail and you can go 
round in circles fixing this and that and taking a lot of time. Most of the 
modules are already on the DVD though they are not installed by default.just 
search for perl using yast and it should bring up all the perl modules 

After you did the install, have you tried to actually do updatedb and then use 
locate to determine if DateTime.pm actually now can be found in any of those 
listed locations? Sometimes cpan will fail to compile and thus not install the 
module.
