CPAN.pm using CPAN::SQLite had some inconsistent behavior with following
dependencies until the last version or so.  Maybe you got bit by this?
hdp.

Aha, that might be the problem because I installed that plugin for CPAN that
uses a local database.

I tried for more times to install the newer version  of CPAN, but each time
I've done this, CPAN gave errors when trying to install a module with it, so
I let the version that came with the ActivePerl distribution.

Anyway, I found another problem that disallow me to install some modules
with CPAN. Some tests stop the execution and wait forever.
In cases like this I used to install the ppm version of those modules, but
now if I want to use local::lib I need to manually install those modules and
specify the prefix when doing perl Makefile.PL.

Could it be possible to use local::lib and specify that I want to skip the
tests for the current module?
