[tpm] Help... I've buggered 'cpan install' and I cant get up!

[Richard Dice]

My first, and perhaps naive thought:  why not just go through and manually
install each module that your newly-corrupted CPAN bitches about?  That is,
do things the bad old way, with:

 * <download module>
 * perl Makefile.PL
 * make
 * make test
 * sudo make install
