in reply to Installing CPAN module with histfile permission error

I would suggest changing the CPAN 'home' directory to somewhere you have write permission. In the CPAN shell do: 

cpan> o conf cpan_home /your/path/of/choice/.cpan
cpan> o conf commit

    Actually the problem is here:

    'histfile' => q[/tmp/.cpan/histfile],

    Change the options are pointing to /tmp to somewhere like /home/user/tmp or like.
