Hi Ken

I have cpan set up to use 'sudo' when it's building it's what I've  
done everyother time but there's something odd about this box - if I  
run make or make test I get  cascade of permissions errors caused by  
trying to write to /Library/perl. It's like it can't seem to equate  
admin status to root.
