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CPAN itself was out-of-date, which was causing the problems.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.

Thanks again,

Nick
