Can't install XML::Mini from CPAN on Woody
I'm trying to use VOCP (www.vocpsystem.com) on my Woody system. It's a Perl
program, and requires several modules from CPAN. When I run the installer,
it complains that it can't install the required module XML::Mini.
Someone on the VOCP mailing list suggested I do this:
perl -MCPAN -e shell
install XML::Mini
from the shell.
Well, it tries to install the module, but I get errors of this form:

I know little about Perl and CPAN beyond "scripting language" and "module
repository". Can anyone who has experience with both Perl and Debian tell
me what I'm doing wrong here? I would appreciate it greatly.
