I was having issues using the bootstrap script without installing this package using centos and amazon distributions.

Hi Lloyd! Are you sure, you need install cpan client as "perl-CPAN" centos package? The cpan::bootstrap recipe do it in other way:

first it installs cpanminus client
then it installs cpan packages minimal set ( to make sure that cpan_client LWRP work correctly ) - 'Time::HiRes', 'CPAN', 'local::lib', 'App::pmuninstall'. So 'CPAN' cpan_module eliminates the need of "perl-CPAN", I wonder if it does not work in centos ...

@melezhik We kept getting an error during the cpanminus install when running it without perl-CPAN. I actually would do this:

package 'perl-CPAN'

include_recipe('cpan::bootstrap')

to get it to run.
