[San-Diego-pm] Getting modules

Hello Perl survivors,

After a few years doing no Perl, I'm attempting it again. Unfortunately 
Perl has migrated away from what little I knew. And I am an Olympic 
contender representing my country in memory loss. (My memory loss - not 
my laptop)

I have: Windows 7, Strawberry Perl 5.18.1.1

I tried to install Image::Size from cpan. It wouldn't.
I tried to install File::Copy. It wouldn't. But it suggested:
   cpan> install R/RJ/RJBS/perl-5.24.0.tar.gz
It wouldn't do that either.

Am stuck. Please suggest.

=============
Below are messages from above attempts.
They are in order: Image::Size, File::Copy, perl-5.24.0
