I've not had the time to test out the new CPAN installation until now. 
I've just tried it on a clan install of ActivePerl 5.8.8.819 and it 
didn't install:
Failed Test     Stat Wstat Total Fail  Failed  List of Failed
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
t/RemoteBlast.t    9  2304    13    0   0.00%  ??
t/rnamotif.t       2   512    72  144 200.00%  1-72
2 tests and 197 subtests skipped.

How can I get the test output from CPAN to go to a log file so I can 
look at the errors more closely?

p.s. I think nmake will need to be installed for windows but I'll 
doublecheck.
