Problem installing ExtUtils::Command from CPAN

Hello clpm,

I am trying to install the ExtUtils::Command module on my Ubuntu (Edgy
Eft) machine, but I seem to fall into a practical joke of some sort,
because I am told during the installation that CPAN.pm cannot install
ExtUtils::Command because ExtUtils/Command.pm isn't found in my @INC.
Could anyone help me out with this problem? The version of Perl used
on Edgy Eft is 5.8.8. For more information, I have included the entire
output of what happens when I try to do the installation.

Thanks,

Vincent.
