Every time I seem to go and install a module from CPAN I seem to get 
that message, the annoying part is I "used" to every time I saw it 
upgrade CPAN (local machine, if it broke I could always fix it).  It 
simply got upgraded often enough that in the end I stopped bothering to 
upgrade it since it was a 5-10 minute upgrade every time I wanted to 
install a single small module.

It's like the JRE updates that Sun sends, I updated them the first few 
times when it asked if I'd like to upgrade but in the end it becomes an 
annoyance because it happened to frequently that I stopped doing it.
