Can't install/upgrade packages with CPAN

I tried to install some modules with CPAN, but it's giving the following error for every module.

CPAN installation problem " Package contains both files[bignum-0.30.tar] and directories[bignum-0.30]; not recognized as a perl package, giving up, won't make".
Untarred RRD-Simple-1.44.tar successfully
Package contains both files[RRD-Simple-1.44.tar] and directories[RRD-Simple-1.44]; not recognized as a perl package, giving up

Although it was working a few days back. Any help will be appreciated.

I had the same problem. Deleting ~/.cpan/CPAN/MyConfig.pm and reconfiguring cpan (#cpan> o conf init ) helped
