My fellow monks,

I am trying to install Benchmark::Timer in a remote Linux server, locally in my own home directory. I am using CPAN shell.

I generally have no problem installing CPAN modules locally, in this particular server. It never ask any specific permission. Only this time it gives this message. 
/usr/bin/perl -Iinc Makefile.PL --config= --installdeps=Time::HiRes,0,
+Statistics::PointEstimation,0
*** Installing dependencies...
*** You are not allowed to write to the directory '/home/grad/myname/.
+cpan/sources';
    the installation may fail due to insufficient permissions.

And then it stuck there. Then I do a ^Z to the process, then it gives this:

  /usr/bin/make install  -- NOT OK
    You may have to su to root to install the package

I already perform "force" install but still giving the same message.
I encounter the same permission problem while installing Acme::Comment.
Is there any way around I can get this kind of module installed?

Regards,
Edward
