Ah, the problem is that inside the tmp-16218 directory a 
Math-Calculus-Expression-0.2.2 directory is created but that directory 
does not have execute permissions. Presumably that is it's state inside 
the .tar.gz, and also explains why CPAN hasn't indexed it.

Can the author fix this problem, or failing that, somone@cpan?

I think I already came across this problem in the past and reported it 
to the author, so somone @cpan may have to step in.


Cheers,
Sendu.
