I just looked up the correct version's doc, and it's the same, but thanks for pointing that out - didn't notice the version mixup. Having a perl script to do all the modules for you would be an absolute dream - doing all this faffing around was a bit of a nightmare. Cheers Dave! @Paul – Quite – that seems to be the case and it took me a little while to figure out what was throwing the 500 :)

The documentation you linked to was for version 2.22, which is getting kind of old these days. Version 3.2 (which is release candidate right now) is pre-coded to allow perl modules to be installed in a subdirectory under bugzilla, and has an install-modules.pl script that will download and install them there for you without having to mess with configuring CPAN. Dreamhost also has a really good writeup on installing Bugzilla 3.0 that should work on most shared hosting providers: http://wiki.dreamhost.com/Bugzilla What version of Bugzilla were you trying to install?

Fasthosts won't allow anything beyond redirects and mod_rewrite instructions in .htaccess, at least not on shared hosting. Put in anything else, your site vanishes behind a 500. FAIL.
