Perl: Tru64 UNIX 5.01 How do I get CPAN to work?

Hi,

I installed perl on my ALPHA2 Tru64 4.0e UNIX box a long time ago. I
made it myself, I installed it into /usr/local/bin/perl. .
I've slept since the last time I built perl on ALPHA2, it was one of
those long Rip Van Winkle type of sleeps, so I would appreciate your
help.

I am trying to get CPAN working with the Tru64 UNIX 5.01 factory
installed version of perl but it is complaining. My homemade version of
perl can still do the CPAN thing.

We have a couple other 5.01 alpha boxes that I never made home made
perls and I tried my CPAN expirement there too. I am seeing the same
results that I see on ALPHA2 when using /usr/bin/perl.

==============================================
>From alpha1 where no home made perl was ever installed.
==============================================

#perl -MCPAN -e shell

Can't locate CPAN.pm in _at_INC (_at_INC contains:
/usr/lib/perl-5.005/lib/5.00503/alpha-dec_osf
/usr/lib/perl-5.005/lib/5.00503
/usr/lib/perl-5.005/lib/site_perl/5.005/alpha-dec_osf
/usr/lib/perl-5.005/lib/site_perl/5.005 .).
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted.

What's up with that?

--------
I even found a copy of CPAN which I downloaded, but it dies on the

#perl Makefile.Pl

complaining about lib.pm
