Try installing the module from source.  There's two ways to do this.

1. Go to a CPAN site, such as http://search.cpan.org/ and download the  
source.  Unpack the module, cd to the directory and issue these  
commands: perl Makefile.PL; make; make test; make install (assuming all  
went well)

2. Use the cpan script that was installed with perl.  It will take a  
while to set up, but it will automate the process for subsequent  
installs.
