This is on a Mac right? Were you logged in as root when you installed  
it? /private/var/root is root's home directory.

Ideally you should run CPAN as you rather than as root. Configure  
cpan to use sudo to gain adequate privileges for make install or ./ 
Build install:

     make_install_make_command [sudo make]
     mbuild_install_build_command [sudo ./Build]

If you do that and reinstall CPAN::Reporter you should find that it  
looks for its ini file in your home dir.
