As the error message says, you need Perl's Date::Format, Date::Parse and
HTML::Template modules.

RPM-wise each Perl module corresponds to a perl(<Perl-module-name>)
inside of the rpmdb.
I.e. rpm-wise you want to install perl(Date::Format), perl(Date::Parse)
and perl(HTML::Template).
So you want to
yum install \
'perl(Date::Format)' 'perl(Date::Parse)' 'perl(HTML::Template)'
BTW: I strongly advise you not to use CPAN to install Perl distributions
on Fedora systems. It is the sure way to corrupt a Fedora Perl
installation.
