I seem to remember that CPAN prompts for your ftp client when you do the initialization. You may want to go through that process again and specify lftpget when it asks.

I believe CPAN is going to use other methods of retrieving data, if you have programs available. One of them is wget that works for both FPT and HTTP. It should detect and use it if present.
