[OSM-dev] [OT] installing CPAN modules

In trying to get Nick Burch's planet extracting scripts to work, I'm trying to 
install additional modules such as Bit::Vector with cpan on the dev server. 
However I'm getting strange errors.

Trying

cpan get Bit::Vector

or

cpan -i Bit::Vector

or 

 perl -MCPAN -e "install 'Bit::Vector'"

installs a prerequisite (Carp) but then installing Bit::Vector seems to fail 
with some errors about bad tests.

Am I doing something wrong? (apologies, not used to using cpan)

Thanks,
Nick
