I'm very new at this, so I may be off-base.
Are you running the cpan shell as root?
If that is the problem, it sounds to me, that libnet archive didn't
download completely.
Last night is the first time I've ever ran the cpan shell. When you
first run the shell your prompted to configure the cpan shell. The o
conf [opt] command will allow you to configure Config.pm
i.e
cpan> o conf gzip /usr/gzip
gzip /usr/gzip
cpan> o conf gzip /usr/bin/gzip
gzip /usr/bin/gzip
cpan>
