Install Cpanm module error : No such file or directory opening compressed index

I got this error while installing Rest client perl module
$ HOME=/tmp /home/perl/5.10/bin/cpanm REST::Client
! Finding REST::Client on cpanmetadb failed.
! cannot open file '/tmp/.cpanm/sources/http%www.cpan.org/02packages.details.txt.gz': No such file or directory opening compressed index
! Couldn't find module or a distribution REST::Client

Solution:

The problem is because of "LWP::Protocol::https" module. Removing the directory worked for me.
$ cd /perl_installed_path/perl/5.10/lib/site_perl/5.10.1
$ rm –rf LWP*
or try with option "--no-lwp"
cpanm REST::Client --no-lwp
