My server is Jaguar and CPAN is not available.
The CPAN module has been a standard part of Perl since 5.004, which was released in May '97 - long before Mac OS X was released. Unless you've managed to delete or mangle it somehow, it's available on your Jaguar server.
But whatever. Even in the highly unlikely event that your CPAN module has been deleted or broken somehow, the module archive at <http://www.cpan.org> is still available to you. You could still download the module packages from there, and follow the UNIX instructions found in 'perldoc perlmodinstall'.
Have you tried asking Perl itself for advice? The 'perldoc' utility has a search interface for its "Frequently Asked Questions" list. Try this:
perldoc -q "How do I install a module"
