Perl Modules and memory problems

Hi folks,
Not sure what to do with this one.
If I look through the perl modules section of WHM nothing seems to work. I can list locally installed modules but try to do anything like get available package list, install a module etc and it just comes back with an empty list or won't find the module to install.

I managed to get an error out of it which is below. Running /scripts/perlmods -a through SSH however does work although I can't use that to install the module I want so I've had to do that through CPAN. The question remains though is why Cpanel is buggered..
