OK, then you probably should upgrade.

First of all please read:
http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Tools/urpmi
After you configure the urpmi remote sources (from which it downloads the
Mandriva .rpm packages to install), you can use something like:
# urpmi perl-MIME-Lite
(The # is the root shell prompt - do not include it.)
to install the MIME-Lite CPAN distribution from urpmi, or alternatively:
# urpmi perl(MIME::Lite)
to install the MIME::Lite Perl namespace/package.
There may be some pages on the Mandriva wiki (link above) in order to install
perl packages, but these are the basics.
