It is CPAN, not cpan (case matters).  However, your first step should be
to see if the module you want is available packaged for Fedora.  You can
do that from the command-line as root with:

  yum install 'perl(Some::Module)'

If it isn't found, you can then use CPAN to install it.  You may need to
install the CPAN module first though with:

  yum install 'perl(CPAN)'
