Just to let you know ...
Thanks to Les's suggestion of trying rpms from ATrpms rather than CPAN, I
went ahead and downloaded and installed the perl-IO-String, perl-IO-Zlib,
perl-Archive-Zip, perl-Archive-Tar and perl-Compress-Zlib rpms.
Seems everything is working again now ... So thanks much

From above it looks like you're running RHEL4 x86_64.
3rd party repos like Dag Wieers (http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/) or ATrpms
(http://atrpms.net) contain a lot of extra pre-built rpms for 3rd party
tools. All the rpms are usually called perl-. i.e.
perl-Compress-Zlib
Set yourself up for these repos and then install using rpms instead of cpan.
You should be able to get things sorted using compatible rpms.

Les
