You have one of two things going on...

1) You have two copies of Perl installed in different locations, and the
one Bugzilla is using isn't the one that's in your PATH when you run CPAN.
Check the #! line at the top of checksetup.pl and make sure it's pointing
at the same place (or at somewhere that's eventually symlinked to the same
place).

-or-

2) Permission problems (this is most likely on RedHat).  The default umask
on RedHat is such that many Perl modules installed via CPAN will install in
such a way that they're only accessible by root.  You can fix this by
running the following commands:

find /usr/lib/perl5 -perm -u+r -exec chmod go+r {} \;
find /usr/lib/perl5 -perm -u+x -exec chmod go+x {} \;
