If you choose to go this route, instead of using CPAN, then just do this
next:

make install

What you had done was to build and test the modules, but not actually
install
them in a place where Perl can find them.

Running "make install" should cure that. It will also install the utilities
into your "/usr/bin" directory.

Again, I hope this helps.
