The problem is probably here: WP failed with code[500] message[Errno architecture (i386-linux-thread-multi-2.6.20-1.2952.fc6) does not match executable architecture (i386-linux-thread-multi-2.6.20-1.3001.fc6xen) Are you using xen virtual machine for your CPAN? I didn't use xen, but as I see you have two different directories on your computer.
it's been some time since the original request was raised and looked liked a 3rd party RPM install a different version of Scalar::Util. I managed to 'fix' this by removing the architecture check. I cannot report as FIXED - but you can close down the Request thanks
