Hi Monks,


While am installing perl module via CPAN it shows the below error.
And i have executed the below command

cpan
cpan> install Archive::Tar

[download]

And the error is

Running make install
Warning: You do not have permissions to install into /usr/lib64/perl5/
+site_perl/5.8.8/x86_64-linux-thread-multi at /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/Ext
+Utils/Install.pm line 114.

make: *** [pure_site_install] Error 13
  /usr/bin/make install  -- NOT OK
    You may have to su to root to install the package

my requirements are
1) install the perl modules in "/install/others/" folder, here i have permission to write the file.
2) Include this path to @INC by default

for requirement1: i have updated the cpan config as below 
cpan> o conf
CPAN::Config options and /home/iesadm/.cpan/CPAN/MyConfig.pm:
