Hi,

I tried using the cpan command line module for the first time (I am using ActivePerl and usually use PPM). I tried installing a module by doing the following...:

cpan HTML::EP

[download]

...and got this output:

Set up gcc environment - 3.4.5 (mingw-vista special r3)
CPAN: Term::ANSIColor loaded ok (v3.00)
CPAN: Storable loaded ok (v2.22)

Error reading 'C:\Perl\cpan\FTPstats.yml': Alert: While trying to 'par

with 'YAML::XS' the following error was encountered:
  Usage: YAML::XS::LibYAML::Load(yaml_sv) at C:\Perl\lib/YAML/XS.pm li

Stashing away as 'C:\Perl\cpan\FTPstats.yml.1313721059' to prevent fur
+ther inter
ruptions. You may want to remove that file later.

Why does the process stop at Could not rename: Permission denied? Thanks in advance.
