To debug cpan install failures, you usually
have to work through the build process to
some extent.  After you have gotten the
module via the cpan shell, you can do:

cpan> look PGPLOT

which will try to start up a shell in the PGPLOT
build directory.  There, take a look at the module
README and INSTALL files to see if something is
missing.

Otherwise, you can go to search.cpan.org, find
the module there, download it by hand, uncompress
the archive file, cd to the directory created and
look there...

It looks like you are missing some prerequisites.
