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'
CPAN: Storable loaded ok

mkdir /Users/richill/.cpan/sources/authors/id/A/AR: Permission denied

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
[download]

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.
