in reply to CPAN on El Capitan

After glancing over the SIP link, it appears as though you are permitted to write to /usr/local, but not anything else in /usr. Perhaps try changing your binary install path to /usr/local/bin?

cpan> o conf makepl_arg "INSTALLBIN=/usr/local/bin INSTALLSCRIPT=/usr/ +local/bin" cpan> o conf commit

Then run your install again.
