Well no luck even after ~20 tries. After I do "perl Makefile.PL --bootstrap", I get the same error. After this, when I do "make install", I just the following one line error.

Error: "make: *** No rule to make target `install'. Stop."

Is there a way at all that I could have the scripts do everything on the share (right from creating .cpan to perl5 directories). I tried to pass the directory on share as a parameter to the bootstrap, but that did not work either. It still created .cpan and perl5 directories in my home directory. I get the same errors as before..
