Like this:

  $ cd /home/david/cpantesting
  $ perl-5.6.2/bin/perl -MCPAN -e shell
  ...

Interestingly, I've found that the problem goes away if I instead do
this ...

  $ /home/david/cpantesting/perl-5.6.2/bin/perl -MCPAN -e shell

that is, run perl with an absolute path (no, it doesn't matter what the
cwd is) and it works.
