Just a wild guess, you are logged in as ROOT when you started the install? This has the hallmark of a permissions issue.

Yes I am logged in as root. Am I not supposed to install Perl modules via CPAN as root? I have never had problems with this in the past, and I really thought modules were installed as root unless setup otherwise. I setup a different user account just for installing modules and I am still getting the same issue.	[reply]
