Dear Kalpa,
You do not need to compile Columbus, there are executables. I think this 
should work for you. You can get the executables form the Columbus 
download page. I strongly recommend this option.

If you really want to compile Columbus, you do not need to install cpan. 
There is an alternative: see 
https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.univie.ac.at/columbus/C70_beta_pre-release/bin_distrib.html__;!!KGKeukY!3RgRS3nTkJe8J6kGH-A3kvilvwlz9Hx7vj2JYhFOK_SeNLDDMjgPgbn4I7j2BdYNcacnmD5aY_K9I2zSMltJeRSs8Km6FEw$ , 
point 4, the Note. The install.config file should not include the PERL 
path. How does your install.config file look like?

Best regards, Hans
