How to install CPAN without using yum on Linux?
Hi all,

I am on Linux box where CPAN is not working for downloading any perl modules. When I try "perl -MCPAN -e shell" as root as well as a user, I get following error:
Code:
Can't locate CPAN.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/local/lib64/perl5 /usr/local/share/perl5 /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/lib64/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 .).
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted.

So I tried to install CPAN by running "yum install perl-CPAN" but I get following error in response:
Code:
Loaded plugins: product-id, rhnplugin, security, subscription-manager
This system is not registered to Red Hat Subscription Management. You can use subscription-manager to register.
There was an error communicating with RHN.
RHN Satellite or RHN Classic support will be disabled.

Error Message:
        Please run rhn_register as root on this client
Error Class Code: 9
Error Class Info: Invalid System Credentials.
Explanation:
     An error has occurred while processing your request. If this problem
     persists please enter a bug report at bugzilla.redhat.com.
     If you choose to submit the bug report, please be sure to include
     details of what you were trying to do when this error occurred and
     details on how to reproduce this problem.

Could not get metalink https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=epel-6&arch=x86_64 error was
14: PYCURL ERROR 56 - "Proxy CONNECT aborted"
Setting up Install Process
No package perl-CPAN available.
Error: Nothing to do

I searched for this error and found that it's result of system (system-id from file /etc/sysconfig/rhn/systemid not present in RHN) not being registered with RHN. The solution suggested there is to re-register the system. Many users have posted that it didn't help them either.
So by the time I get this registration thing cleared, is there any way to install perl-CPAN on my machine without using yum?

Thank you in advance!

Update:
I have downloaded the CPAN-2.05.tar.gz
Before I go ahead and install it, can someone please suggest me under which directory I should extract it?
I have root permission and have already posted @INC.

Thanks in advance.
