Larry,
Working on it ....

Exactly what I am getting:
-----
bash-2.02$ chmod -v -R a+w .
mode of . changed to 0777 (rwxrwxrwx)
mode of ./CPAN changed to 0777 (rwxrwxrwx)
mode of ./CPAN/MyConfig.pm retained as 0666 (rw-rw-rw-)
bash-2.02$ perl -MCPAN -e shell
[ ... ]
I see you already have a  directory
    /usr/.cpan
Shall we use it as the general CPAN build and cache directory?

CPAN build and cache directory? [/usr/.cpan]
Couldn't find directory /usr/.cpan
  or directory is not writable. Please retry.
------

Does this not tell us its is Perl that's wrong?

"The democratic faith in human equality is belief that every human being, independent
of the quantity or range of his personal endowment, has the right to equal opportunity
with every other person for development of whatever gifts he has. The democratic
belief in the principle of leadership is a generous one. It is universal. It is belief
in the capacity of every person to lead his own life free from coercion and imposition
by others provided right conditions are supplied."
