Is the lack of cpan-mac a known caveat?  I tried it out under both a4 
and a5 and encountered resistance installing DBI, among others:

  # Compression not available
  File 'Dev:Pseudo'; Line 19
  # Can't use an undefined value as an ARRAY reference.
  File '[...]:MacPerl 5.6.1a5:site_perl:Archive:Tar.pm'; Line 708

This is through installme.plx; cpan-shell displayed the same looping 
behavior detailed by Scott Godin:
