in thread Why permission required while installing certain CPAN module locally?

I've run into this on occasion, when the system thought the files belonged to someone other than me (as user). I'm wondering whether that may be what's giving you trouble? Who "owns" the files you're trying to write?

    I think it's mine as it shows in my snippet above. And moreover I tried 
    $ stat -c "%U" sources

or

$ perl -e'print +(getpwuid((stat)[ 4]))[0],$/ for @ARGV'

    [download]
    prints myname.

    And with this: 
    $ perl -e'print +(stat)[4],$/ for @ARGV' sources

or 

$ stat -c "%u" sources

    [download]
    Both gives same number "42828".
