in thread Can't use CPAN.pm once gpg installed

Running make for D/DA/DAGOLDEN/File-Marker-0.10.tar.gz. Warning: You are not allowed to write into directory "/Users/jimk/.cpan/sources/authors/id/D/DA/DAGOLDEN". I'll continue, but if you encounter problems, they may be due to insufficient permissions.
I imagine this, and similar, warnings/errors are due to the fact that the relevant directories were originally created by root, and now you're running things as jimk. Try changing the ownership of everything under /Users/jimk/.cpan/ to jimk (and also adjust the group, if relevant).
