Installing perl/cpan from source on Centos 6 64-bit - perl

Question

I'm trying to install perl from source into a local directory on CentOS 6. I'm having issues installing certain packages with cpan. I solved a bunch of problems by installing some dev rpm's, I solved more problems by telling perl CentOS is 64 bit in the configure line. But I'm having a problem installing Apache2::TaintRequest that I'm not having much luck figuring out. I've been googling and recompiling for the last several days, so hopefully this isn't a dumb question...
Here is what I'm doing.
yum -y install libxml2-devel openssl-devel vsftpd emacs alpine xorg-x11-xauth
yum -y xorg-x11-fonts* gd gd-devel expat mod_perl gdbm gdbm-devel httpd-devel
yum -y mod_ssl slang slang-devel expat expat-devel gmp gmp-devel curl
yum -y curl-devel jemalloc jemalloc-devel
mkdir /local_perl
cd /root/
wget http://www.cpan.org/src/5.0/perl-5.18.0.tar.gz
tar -xzxf /root/initial_install/perl-5.18.0.tar.gz
cd perl-5.18.0
CFLAGS='-m64 -mtune=nocona' ./Configure -des -A ccflags="-fPIC -m64" \
-Dprefix=/local_perl -Aldflags='-lresolv -lnsl -ldl -lm -lcrypt -lutil -lc'
make
make test
make install

/local_perl/bin/cpan -i Net::OpenID::Consumer
/local_perl/bin/cpan -i Apache2::RequestRec
/local_perl/bin/cpan -i Apache2::TaintRequest # fails
This is where I've gotten, here's the output

I'm at a loss, any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Answer 1

Have you seen if perlbrew sets the right flags and just works?

Answer 2

Force install the Taint module first:
cpan[1]> force install Taint
Then: cpan Apache2::TaintRequest
