Hence, once a month it downloads a tarball via ftp to a tempdir, unpacks the tarball and builds a dev release of perl which is installed elsewhere on disk. This doesn’t solve the problem you had, exactly, but using HTTP from https://www.cpan.org/ <https://www.cpan.org/> will in 99% of cases work faster (and be more up-to-date).
