How can I get App::cpanminus to work?

I have just installed a fresh copy of ubuntu 10.10. I installed perl 5.12.2 following brian d foy's recommended outline and then installed cpanminus by invoking curl -L http://cpanmin.us | perl5.12.2 - --sudo App::cpanminus.

Now, cpan5.12.2 works fine, but whenever I try to install a module using cpanm5.12.2 it fails finding it. e.g.:

$ sudo cpanm5.12.2 -v File::Copy::Recursive
You have make /usr/bin/make
You have LWP 5.837
You have /bin/tar: tar (GNU tar) 1.23
