Silly question, do you have perl-CPAN installed?

$ rpm -ql perl-CPAN
/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0/CPAN
/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0/CPAN.pm
/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0/CPAN/FirstTime.pm
/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0/CPAN/Nox.pm
/usr/share/man/man3/CPAN.3pm.gz
/usr/share/man/man3/CPAN::FirstTime.3pm.gz
/usr/share/man/man3/CPAN::Nox.3pm.gz
