Failed to load module CPAN.

-------- Error ---------

------------------------

When we tried to start installing RT's perl dependencies,
we were unable to load the CPAN client. This module is usually  
distributed
with Perl. This usually indicates that your vendor has shipped an  
unconfigured
or incorrectly configured CPAN client.
The error above may (or may not) give you a hint about what went wrong

You have several choices about how to install dependencies in
this situatation:

1) use a different tool to install dependencies by running setting  
the following   shell environment variable and rerunning this tool:
     RT_FIX_DEPS_CMD='/usr/bin/perl -MCPAN -e"install %s"'
2) Attempt to configure CPAN by running:
    `/usr/bin/perl -MCPAN -e shell` program from shell.
    If this fails, you may have to manually upgrade CPAN (see below)
3) Try to update the CPAN client. Download it from:
    http://search.cpan.org/dist/CPAN and try again
4) Install each dependency manually by downloading them one by one from
    http://search.cpan.org

make: *** [fixdeps] Error 1

CPAN is definitely installed; I've been going through http:// 
wiki.bestpractical.com/index.cgi?DebianStableInstallGuide and I'm  
nearly all done.

I have all dependencies done except for this one. I've spent about 2  
hours now trying to work out to fix this one but I can't for the life  
of me work out what I need to do to fix this. I can see that there's  
a problem with making the directory but I still can't work it out.

Can anyone please point me in the right direction please? :)

Mark
