What I did wasn't perfect but works well enough for now. After removing
both directories I was able to run cpan with no problems. The cpanp
command came up with errors on several missing packages. I used cpan to
reinstall those missing packages and now have cpanp working as well as
cpan. I figure with the two of those perl installation and update
programs working should a problem arise in the future I'll probably be
able to fix it with one of the utilities.
