Thanks for the reply. I really appreciate the help. However, it turns out the problem was a bit different. The prerequisites_policy setting only makes it so CPAN installs depends by default instead of asking permission first. In my case I was never being asked. That said, I did find a solution to my issue. The problem was that CPAN itself was out-of-date, which was causing the problems. On a guess I ran "install Bundle::CPAN" from the cpan shell and that seems to have fixed everything. I can now install modules and am asked about installing dependencies.
