Try to disable your anti-virus SW and run  "cpan install IO::All" again.
I have experienced exactly the same issue on a computer with Microsoft
Security Essentials.

My theory is:
- cpan clients unpacks a bunch of data
- immediately after that cpan clients tries to move the whole upacked
dir somewhere else
- however AV has kind of  a lock on the original directory as it did not
finish the scanning of new files before "move dir" was called
- from the outside it simply seems like "move failed"
 
You can even try to run the same command multiple times and you will see
that the reported error is not 100% deterministic.
