Please always file bugs, even if you are not sure if it is a bug or not, as
bug reports.  It is much easier for me to track them that way.  If I didn't
get around to answering this morning, it might get lost, etc.

In this case, you might not want to bother now, though; I see nothing in
Quantum::Superpositions that tells CPAN to install Class::Multimethods.  I
get the same error with CPAN.pm on Linux.

use ExtUtils::MakeMaker;
WriteMakefile(
                NAME    => 'Quantum::Superpositions',
                VERSION => '1.03',
             );

The file should say something like:

use ExtUtils::MakeMaker;
WriteMakefile(
                NAME    => 'Quantum::Superpositions',
                VERSION => '1.03',
		PREREQ_PM => {'Class::Multimethods', 0},
             );
