Done

I had the same problem. CPAN tries to import the PAUSE public keys into the user's keychain for some reason.

A related bug has been around for a while:
rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=28952

I could get it to emerge by just skipping the import (see attached patch below). However, I do not know wether this will break something later.

Thank you for sharing the patch.
Applied it to current version and worked as expected.
Everything seems to be working as expected.
