It was for me with the 5.22.1 binary kit installed:
$ cpan -i Text::Template

I think the obvious difference from your set-up is that I already have
CPAN configured, and have had for some time, so if something broke in
first-time configuration, I wouldn't see it. The configuration is just a
text file located at [._cpan.CPAN]MyConfig.pm with a Perl data structure
in it, so the easiest way to fix it, given the interactive tool is not
working right, might just be to start with a working one and edit it to
your heart's content. Here's what mine looks like -- just replace
"DISK$USER" and "[me." with appropriate local values:
$CPAN::Config = {
'applypatch' => q[],

Or for your immediate problem, you can forget about CPAN and just get
the Text::Template tarball from:
http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/M/MJ/MJD/Text-Template-1.46.tar.gz
unpack it, and run:
$ perl Makefile.PL
$ mmk
$ mmk test
$ mmk install

There is moderation and it can take a day or three for the volunteers
who run the lists to approve requests. At least that's my best guess
about what's going on.

So you now have two ways. If you get really desperate, here's a third.
Text::Template is quite a simple module and only has two files in it
that do any real business. You can take them from the tarball and copy
them to their canonical locations below, replacing VMS_IA64 with VMS_AXP
in directory names if running on Alpha and granting world RE access:
$ dir/col=1/nohead/notrail perl_root:[lib.site_perl...]
PERL_ROOT:[lib.site_perl]Text.DIR;1
PERL_ROOT:[lib.site_perl]VMS_IA64.DIR;1
PERL_ROOT:[lib.site_perl.Text]Template.DIR;1
PERL_ROOT:[lib.site_perl.Text]Template.pm;1
PERL_ROOT:[lib.site_perl.Text.Template]Preprocess.pm;1
PERL_ROOT:[lib.site_perl.VMS_IA64]auto.DIR;1
PERL_ROOT:[lib.site_perl.VMS_IA64.auto]Text.DIR;1
PERL_ROOT:[lib.site_perl.VMS_IA64.auto.Text]Template.DIR;1
PERL_ROOT:[lib.site_perl.VMS_IA64.auto.Text.Template].packlist;1
The .packlist file is just a list of the other files installed:
$ type PERL_ROOT:[lib.site_perl.VMS_IA64.auto.Text.Template].packlist
perl_root:[lib.site_perl.Text.Template]Preprocess.pm
perl_root:[lib.site_perl.Text]Template.pm
