It's hosted (VPS B).

Still, why then would CPAN be installed if it can't actually be used to 
install modules?

The set of modules that _are_ installed is very limited, which means for 
about every Perl package or utility I'd want to use I'd need supporting 
modules as well. Seems not a very good idea to me I'd have to ask my host 
for supporting modules every time I'd like to use a new Perl program...

I've been able to install and compile C programs in the past, so this 
limitation for Perl seems like a strange limitation to me.
