I have optware on my router with 32mb and I got perl but the module I wanted wasn't available via ipkg so I went to use CPAN to find it wouldn't work...
Even if I did configure it correctly (i'm 99% sure i did since i had expert help) it would have taken days to do anything as using swap made it slooooooow) I started off with this site http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/HowTo/ConfigureCPAN and that didn't cut it.
I moved over to using cpanm - https://github.com/miyagawa/cpanminus
but that gave an error so i did this

With that cpanm works good and you just need the proper ipkgs prior to using it...
i can't say what if all of these you need:
binutils
expat
glib
grep
gzip
less
libc6-unslung
libdb
libgcc
libxml2
lynx
man
ncftp
ncursesw
openssh
openssl-dev
readline
sqlite
tz
unslung-devel
unslung-feeds
update-modules
which
zlib
but on top of those you want:
tar
wget
make
inetutils
xz-utils
at that point you want to have this file: https://raw.github.com/miyagawa/cpanminus/master/cpanm
downloaded somewhere accesible
to use it: perl cpanm [option] [module]
and there you have simpler, faster, and working cpan and installing modules for perl on optware!
again credit to wtf911 and mst :D
i advise changing this page:http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/HowTo/ConfigureCPAN
