Yup.  I've got it fixed. (but now I have to do a  'cpan -i xxx' rather than
'cpan install xxx')

The hard part was trying to figure out what I needed to re-install.
It turns out it was only one module, but it was dependant on another
which was dependant...  Anyway, it was only three in total.

Thanks.
