I'm getting the following error message. Could you help me dubug this by suggesting another step. Manual installing via sudo works ok but takes too long because of the requistes.
perl -MCPAN -e 'install Net::AIM'

mkdir /Users/richill/.cpan/sources/authors/id/A/AR: Permission denied
+at /System/Library/Perl/5.8.1/CPAN.pm line 2326
The line is
File::Path::mkpath($aslocal_dir);
I have tried using sudo, i thought id just bully the code into installing.
$ sudo perl -MCPAN -e 'install Net::AIM'

Checking if your kit is complete...
Looks good
Writing Makefile for Net::AIM
-- NOT OK
Running make test
Can't test without successful make
Running make install
make had returned bad status, install seems impossible
So It looks to me like there is a either aproblem with the make that CPAN uses or the permissions.
As the files affected are created on the fly i maybe need to configure CPAN.pm to create them with different permissons. Any suggestions?
Is it possible to get more inforamtive error messages.
I hope you can help, even if I just need a clean install.
