Maybe it's not using passive ftp for some reason.  Try:

  FTP_PASSIVE=1 perl -MCPAN ...

Or maybe it is, and active would actually work better:

  FTP_PASSIVE=0 perl -MCPAN ...

Or, the cpan mirror it's trying to contact might be down or unreachable
for you.  From the Mybook, what happens if you do:

  nc ftp.yourcpanmirror.com 21

(telnet will do if you don't have nc installed)
