Author Trouble installing modules (Net::SSH::Perl, Math::Pari, Crypt::Random)

In looking for a good Perl SSH module, I came across Net::SSH::Perl,
which has a ton of dependencies. While looking into this, I stumbled
across CPAN::shell, which I figured would make installing Net::SSH::Perl
a lot easier. So, I installed CPAN::shell, but am unable to get all the
dependencies for Net::SSH::Perl installed.

The install starts bombing out at Crypt::Random (and continues through
several other Crypt modules) - it kicks out a number of errors similar
to this:

t/generator..........ok 3/18PARI: *** forbidden division t_REAL %
t_INT. at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/i386-linux/Math/Pari.pm line
978.

I had to install Math::Pari manually (due to having to provide some
build directory), but it installed without incident.

Anyone know how I can get around this? Or, alternatively, a better SSH
module to use?
