I presume this is from the CPAN shell?

All of MakeMaker gets installed everywhere.  You should have ExtUtils::MM_VMS.
You can easily check with 'perldoc -l ExtUtils::MM_VMS'.

What might be happening is your new installation is getting installed in
a different spot than your old one and the old one is "shadowing".  That is,
the old version is coming earlier than the new one in @INC so its
getting picked up.  When you run an install, check for messages about
'shadowing' files.  Try running "make install UNINST=1" to delete the
other version.
