are you next to a "perl" when you give that command
try perl -v
to see which perl is first....

Contrary to which perl....!!!
Which indicates that you are still having perl 5.6.1 in /usr/bin or
ltherwise in your path
The LANG stuff is covered in the archives of this list.
some broken issue with OSX locale functions...
put setenv LANG "C" into your environment.mine.
read /usr/share/init/tcsh/README for more info on customizing your
environment.

seems like this is why CPAN will not work....
generally, what error made you want to do that?
5.7.2 is not yet release, though we hope that finally it will work
better.
could you give a pointer to the discussion which indicated that much
more MacOSX stuff was included?

the dyld: errors were the main reason for wanting to install into a
completely new directory
in my experience... this also happened to me on Linux when I installed
a self compiled build over the RPM build.
though the exact collection of undefined symbols is somewhat puzzling...
did you chose to install the experimental IO abstraction layer?
Seems that CPAN will initially try to initialize Readline support...
but when you install, maybe it first is try ing to initialize ZLib for
decompression.
you could see if you get the same errors when just trying to read the
directory of bundles..
sorry for my non-linear writing style but i just found this by searching
"IO" in CPAN
hahhhhh.........
Module PerlIO (J/JH/JHI/perl-5.7.2.tar.gz)
Module PerlIO::Scalar (J/JH/JHI/perl-5.7.2.tar.gz)
Module PerlIO::Via (J/JH/JHI/perl-5.7.2.tar.gz)
Module PerlIO::gzip (N/NW/NWCLARK/PerlIO-gzip-0.11.tar.gz)
Module PerlIO::subfile (N/NW/NWCLARK/PerlIO-subfile-0.04.tar.gz)
your CPAN module thinks it was made by 5.7.2 but you have perl -V which
thinks it is 5.6.1
the PerlIO is undefined!!!!!
just moving the entire perl install out of the way seems to be the best
method for replacing the default install.

Then after you test it thoroughly in those conditions you could think of
replacing your default install.
