My understanding is that newer versions of the CPAN module don't do 
this.  The older versions installed on the RaQs did.

So, you should do something like this to update the CPAN module on your RaQ:

# perl -MCPAN -e 'shell'
cpan> install Bundle::CPAN

and watch it like a hawk!  If you see it download and start to build a 
newer version of Perl, just hit Control-C a few times.
