I got CPAN set up: very nice. I think po4a installed OK in the end,  
but po4a did complain that it needed three other modules:

I was able to install the first and the last, but when I tried to  
install SGMLS, CPAN said:

Is this some more missing software? I do have perl.

And is it likely to disadvantage po4a, not having that module for now?

Thankyou very much for your help with this, and for the introduction  
to CPAN (which I am enjoying considerably). :)
