buz260 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hello everyone. I've been having some problems installing modules using the CPAN installer. I read somewhere that you can reinstall it, and thought I'd give it a try. Having typed sudo cpan into the terminal, then put in my password, then typed install CPAN, the following errors came up:

cpan[3]> install CPAN + Running install for module 'CPAN' Running make for A/AN/ANDK/CPAN-1.9304.tar.gz Fetching with LWP: http://www.mirror.8086.net/sites/CPAN/authors/id/A/AN/ANDK/CPAN-1.93

    It Cannot create directory /private/var/root/Library/Application'
      So do you know how to fix it? Thanks.
        there has been some issues after a recent security update in Leopard, please refer to:

        http://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en-us&q=security+update+leopard+perl&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8

        maybe this mentioned thread will help you further:

        UPDATE

        What I did to get CPAN working again was the following and I didn't have any problems afterwards although not every module can be installed via CPAN and the README often gives the alternative that'll work if required modules are installed. (I'm not an expert on this and unfortunately lost the source of why I took this action and have no idea whether it could do any harm to your system, again, for me it was fine)

        mkdir -p /fixforperl cd !$ curl -O http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/G/GB/GBARR/IO-1.2301.ta +r.gz curl -O http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/P/PM/PMQS/DB_File-1.819 +.tar.gz curl -O http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/A/AM/AMS/Storable-2.18. +tar.gz tar xzf IO-1.2301.tar.gz tar xzf DB_File-1.819.tar.gz tar xzf Storable-2.18.tar.gz cd IO-1.2301 && perl Makefile.PL && make && sudo make install && cd .. cd DB_File-1.819 && perl Makefile.PL && make && sudo make install && c +d .. cd Storable-2.18 && perl Makefile.PL && make && sudo make install && c +d ..
        Not sure what you mean, I would just ignore it.
