in reply to perlbrew -- permission denied problems

It is probably a left-over in your ~/.cpan directory from when you used to run cpan as root. I'd recommend deleting your ~/.cpan/sources and ~/.cpan/build directories and recursively chowning the rest of ~/.cpan so that it is owned by your non-root username.

Going forward I'd recommend running perlbrew install-cpanm and then using cpanm as your CPAN client.

Or App::cpantimes :-)
