Is CPAN.pm actually in any of those paths?

What perl version are you running (should be 5.8.8, but doesn't hurt to check)?

If you can find CPAN.pm and it's not in @INC, you can force it by:

export PERL5LIB=/path1/to/libs:/path2/to/libs

But to be honest, I don't know what's causing your error - the fact
it's now complaining about CPAN when it was complaining about
MakeMaker before is slightly screwy.
