I also encountered many a problem using CPAN while installing a content
management application called WebGUI.
I remember even forcing the install did not result in a good out come
(Image::Magick).
My resolution was similar. I looked for other repositories. In my case
(FC4) I resolved it by finding a YUM repository with the module(s) I needed.

Mark Freeze said the following:
Does anyone have any experience using mysql perl scripts? I am using
Ubuntu and when I try to install the DBI thru CPAN it fails
repeatedly. Does anyone have any advice, good sites, or secrets to
share? I have been using instructions found at
http://search.cpan.org/~rudy/DBD-mysql-2.9008/
but I seem to be getting nowhere.
Instead of using CPAN, you can use the Ubuntu repositories
apt-get install libdbi-perl libdbd-mysql-perl
