I ran into the same problem trying to build modules (via CPAN>)
for RT3.2 - the install of Log::Dispatch wanted to build Module::Build
and that blew up.

I solved this by downloading the kit for Module::Build (from 
http://tinyurl.com/66nfn )
and doing a 'traditional' install/build outside of the CPAN> gizmo (note: 
be sure to
follow the steps in the INSTALL file inside the tarfile). After that, I 
fired up CPAN> again
and it was able to do the 'install Log::Dispatch' just fine.
