Good day, dear Monks, I have been trying to install Parse::RecDescent in a local::lib to isolate the dependencies of my application from the system. (Actually, it's a prereq for Mail::IMAPClient, which is the one I really need.) I have been installing modules with this: 
my $dir = "/usr/local/MailControl";
$ENV{PERL5LIB}            = "$dir/lib/perl5";
$ENV{PERL_LOCAL_LIB_ROOT} = $dir;
$ENV{PERL_MB_OPT}         = qq(--install_base "$dir");
$ENV{PERL_MM_OPT}         = qq(INSTALL_BASE=$dir);

system "cpanm --no-man-pages Mail::IMAPClient";

I'm installing with a userid with write permissions to the target directory, but not as root. This is failing, and the message in the build log says: 
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
+!!
ERROR: Can't create '/usr/local/share/man/man3'
Do not have write permissions on '/usr/local/share/man/man3'
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can anyone point me to a reason that the install is trying to install the documentation when I supplied --no-man-pages, and why if it's going to do that it is ignoring my installation directory? Since this is bundling a procedure that will be executed by puppet, I don't want to have to stop and modify something that is downloaded. I want it to run as scripted every time. Any insights would be appreciated.
