Hello,
   The CPAN command:

perl -MCPAN -e shell 

fails with:

Cannot open >/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.5/CPAN/Config.pm at
/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.5/CPAN.pm line 1219

CPAN::Config::_configpmtest('/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.5/CPAN',
'/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.5/CPAN/Config.pm') called at
/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.5/CPAN.pm line 1253
	CPAN::Config::load('CPAN::Config') called at
/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.5/CPAN.pm line 92
	CPAN::shell() called at -e line 1

It looks like it is trying to write to a file owned by
Administrator.  Is there a workaround to install
modules as a user?

TIA.
