I don't know how to fix your exact problem (may be a bug in
ExtUtils::MakeMaker, CPAN, etc), but you could give cpanm a try:

http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?App::cpanminus

It has made my life significantly easier.

There is also local::lib (http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?local::lib) which
others are quite fond of, but I don't have any personal experience with it.
