CPAN install issues

I ma trying to install modules using the CPAN module, specifically
Net::Jabber. however, whenever I try running the install Net::Jabber
command, I get the following output:

cpan[1]> install Net::Jabber
CPAN: Storable loaded ok
Going to read /root/.cpan/Metadata
Database was generated on Wed, 21 Feb 2007 12:08:13 GMT
Running install for module Net::Jabber
Running make for R/RE/REATMON/Net-Jabber-2.0.tar.gz
CPAN: Digest::SHA loaded ok
Can't use string ("") as a HASH ref while "strict refs" in use at /usr/
libdata/perl5/CPAN.pm line 4297.

as far as I can tell, this means that it was not installed. I
downloaded and installed the newest CPAN perl module (v1.8802) but
that didn't help. What can I do to fix this? trying to track down the
dependancy tree by hand would be nearly impossible. Thanks!
