Thanks you!
I've tried that and after some problems (03modlist.data.gz was broken),
I'm in a muddle.
If I use "force install Bundle::CPAN", cpan module (Version 1.59) it
fetch perl-5.6.1! Why?
If I use "install Data::Dumper" and I get

------------- snip --------------
Running install for module Data::Dumper
Running make for G/GS/GSAR/perl-5.6.1.tar.gz
.
.
------------- snip --------------

With a little test like "cpan> m /Telnet/", I can see

------------- snip --------------
Module          Net::Telnet     (J/JR/JROGERS/Net-Telnet-3.02.tar.gz)
Module          Net::Telnet::Cisco
(J/JO/JOSHUA/Net-Telnet-Cisco-1.07.tar.gz)
Module          Net::Telnet::Netscreen
(M/MR/MRAMBERG/Net-Telnet-Netscreen-1.01.tar.gz)
Module          URI::URL::telnet (G/GA/GAAS/libwww-perl-5.10.tar.gz)
Module          URI::telnet     (G/GA/GAAS/URI-1.18.tar.gz)
5 items found
------------- snip --------------

and "m /Dumper/" show me

------------- snip --------------
...
Module          Data::Dumper    (G/GS/GSAR/perl-5.6.1.tar.gz)
....
------------- snip --------------

Why is that module inside of the perl-5.6.1.tar.gz file and not a
standonline file like other modules?

Any tips, helps and suggestions are very wellcome!

Thanks!

Joachim
