There's a new CPAN.pm version (v1.76) available!
[Current version is v1.61]
You might want to try
install Bundle::CPAN
reload cpan
without quitting the current session. It should be a seamless upgrade
while we are running...

How about a Google search?

 http://www.**--****.com/ +missing+separator

That usually means there is a missing TAB character in or around line 85 
in the make file.

Now, I cannot replicate this on FreeBSD or Cygwin, when installing this 
package by itself from Digest-MD5-2.33.tar.gz downloaded from cpan.org.

So you might want to try installing the module all by itself, and then, 
if the error persists, examine the generated Makefile on your system (a 
syntax highlighting editor such as vim will show you if a TAB is missing 
where it is required in a Makefile).
