Sherm (and fellow perlers),
Just wanted to give y'all a heads up on what happened.

Don't forget about the Bundle::Bricolage bundle on CPAN. Bricolage needs a *huge* number of modules, and the bundle is easier than installing them all one-by-one.
Thanks for the advice. I've actually already done that. It took quite a while, but I think in the end it worked out okay.
I spoke too soon. Bundle::Bricolage includes SOAP::Lite as well as Test::Class, both of which failed tests on my machine. From looking some of the Bricolage documentation, it appears Test::Class is only used for development, so I wasn't too worried about using force install.
You can reinstall by doing a "force install". I.e:
sudo perl -MCPAN -e 'force install MIME::Parser'
I did end up force installing both SOAP::Lite and Test::Class, though I wasn't able to do it using sudo perl -MCPAN ... for some reason. It still failed the tests and wouldn't install. However, I succeeded when I logged into the cpan shell using sudo cpan. Then using force install inside the shell worked just fine. Seems to be working, but a little odd, don't you think?
Thanks again for your help!
