Sounds like the CPAN module (or external tools like gzip) doesn't enjoy folder names with intervening spaces, and is therefore confused!
Try to set your CPAN build directory to a path with no intervening spaces, and try again. You ought to be able to use the "o conf" command in CPAN to do this:
e.g.
o conf build_dir /path/to/build/dir/with/no/spaces
Probably you may also need to change the values for options "keep_source_where", "cpan_home" as well.
If you change any of these, you will need an "o conf commit" before you terminate the CPAN shell to save the change. Read the CPAN manpage if in doubt.

cpan::meta::check
CPAN::Meta::Check(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation CPAN::Meta::Check(3)
NAME
CPAN::Meta::Check - Verify requirements in a CPAN::Meta object
VERSION
version 0.008
SYNOPSIS
warn "$_
" for verify_requirements($meta, [qw/runtime build test/], 'requires');
DESCRIPTION
This module verifies if requirements described in a CPAN::Meta object are present.
FUNCTIONS
check_requirements($reqs, $type, $incdirs)
This function checks if all dependencies in $reqs (a CPAN::Meta::Requirements object) are met, taking into account that 'conflicts'
dependencies have to be checked in reverse. It returns a hash with the modules as keys and any problems as values; the value for a
successfully found module will be undef. Modules are searched for in @$incdirs, defaulting to @INC.
verify_dependencies($meta, $phases, $types, $incdirs)
Check all requirements in $meta for phases $phases and types $types. Modules are searched for in @$incdirs, defaulting to @INC. $meta
should be a CPAN::Meta::Prereqs or CPAN::Meta object.
requirements_for($meta, $phases, $types)
This function is deprecated and may be removed at some point in the future, please use CPAN::Meta::Prereqs->merged_requirements instead.
This function returns a unified CPAN::Meta::Requirements object for all $type requirements for $phases. $phases may be either one (scalar)
value or an arrayref of valid values as defined by the CPAN::Meta spec. $type must be a relationship as defined by the same spec. $meta
should be a CPAN::Meta::Prereqs or CPAN::Meta object.
