perl cpan installation error

Question

I tried installing cpan for strawberry perl with following cpan App::cpanminus . But following is the error I got. Could you please guide how can I resolve this issue?

C:\Strawberry\perl\bin>cpan app::cpanminus

Warning: Cannot install app::cpanminus, don't know what it is.
Try the command

i /app::cpanminus/

to find objects with matching identifiers.
CPAN: Time::HiRes loaded ok (v1.9726)

C:\Strawberry\perl\bin>i /app::cpanminus/

Answer 1

To install it without using cpan , the basic bootstrap procedure is:

curl -L http://cpanmin.us | perl - --sudo App::cpanminus
