No need to quit here. The cpan shell looks for
all its options during configuration. It would
just use what it found (wget in this case) if
there were no ncftpget.

Checkout search.cpan.org. It looks like TimeDate is
the tarball and Date::Format is the module (as is
Date::Parse).

So:

cpan> install Date::Format

(for TimeDate)

cpan> install XBase::Base

(for DBD-XBase)

Sorry, bad info from me on the first pass.
