Oh, this is you being unable to install Net::LDAP::Server::Test
If it hardcodes a port, you'll either need to tweak the test suite or
file a bug with the author.  We have no control over that.

You realize that the manual install is simply replicating what the
cpan shell does?  The cpan shell downloads, untars it, runs perl
Makefile.PL, runs tests, installs.  What you would do is download the
tarball, untar it, read the README, follow the instructions to run
Makefile.PL and install it.

The CPAN client will not configure the extension or add it to your
RT_SiteConfig.pm so you're still going to need to read the README and
do some manual things.  I'm not actually aware of any packages of this
extension.
