Misconfigured perl suite that comes with Tru64 ?

Hi Tru64!

Tru64 Unix 5.1a ships with a ready installed and configured
perl suite version 5.6.0. including the cpan module.
I just tried to install additional perl modules that don't
come with the OS: Unix::Syslog, Compress:Zlib and
Archive::Zip. I used the cpan facility invoked by:

perl -MCPAN -e shell
cpan> install Unix::Syslog

It ftps die module correctly from the ftp server (with ncftpget)
and tries to install it. And that fails with a "can't locate file
error". Down at the end of this mail I've put some output.

Similar problemes I've got with the two other modules:
Compress::Zlib and Archive::Zip.

Did anybody succsessfully install these perl modules with cpan
Unix::Syslog, Compress::Zlib and Archive::Zip ?

Is there a misconfigured perl suite shipping with Tru64 5.1a?
Because on our production machine running 4.0f with a perl
suite 5.005 it wasn't a problem to download and install these
modules via the cpan facility.

Any help will be appreciated.

Greetings, Frank.
