If the .gnupg directory is owned and only writable by root, then you must run the cpan install as root, which you'd normally have to do anyway, in order to get things installed in the correct location. It sounds like you've got some non-standard setup. In which case I'm not likely to be able to help you. Sorry. :-( | [reply] |
sudo prefixes the make-install step. I suppose I could have set the gpg item in o conf to "sudo gpg" and than might have fixed things. Instead I simply deleted the .gnupg directory in my home directory, and now CPAN installs of signed modules run fine.
