OK to Install CPAN PERL Libs on Satellite 6 Server?

Hi All - I'm in need of the CPAN PERL libs to be installed on my Satellite 6 server. Problem is, I'm afraid I could introduce a problem by installing the CPAN libs. Does anyone have some experience they can talk about from installing the CPAN PERL libs on a Satellite server?

It seems to me to be a fairly harmless thing to do, but way back in April 2015, there WAS a problem introduced by installing the CPAN libs on a Satellite server that broke things. Here's the somewhat-bizarre knowledgebase article: https://access.redhat.com/solutions/1178263

(It actually does not SAY "CPAN broke it" but that's what I found from Google searches)

Question I have for the community is:
- Anyone out there putting CPAN on their Satellite 6 server?
- Anything else to know about that besides the yum install perl-CPAN command?

Thanks;
James
