When you say, use the sudo form of the command, can you give an example? Just trying to understand what you are doing.

    OK, I'll paste some excerpts from the dialogue from cpan "o conf init".

    Do you want to use a different make command for 'make install'? Cautious people will probably prefer: su root -c make or sudo make or /path1/to/sudo -u admin_account /path2/to/make or some such. Your choice: [sudo make] ... Do you want to use a different command for './Build install'? Sudo users will probably prefer: su root -c ./Build or sudo ./Build or /path1/to/sudo -u admin_account ./Build or some such. Your choice: [sudo ./Build]

      OK, now I understand, thank you for example! :)
