I don't know Perl or CPAN usage very well, and I'm trying to install the
grepmail [1] program. This is on my work computer and I don't have root
access, so I'm trying to use CPAN to handle the dependencies for me in a
reasonable way.
I have the installation started, but I keep getting this message:
*** Installing dependencies...
*** You are not allowed to write to the directory
'/var/tmp/cpan-drake/sources'; the installation may fail due to
insufficient permissions.
But the directory it complains about is 755 with me as owner:
drwxr-xr-x 4 drake math 4096 Aug 21 12:16 /var/tmp/cpan-drake/sources/
Because of this problem, the installation fails. How can I fix this?
Thanks.
Dan
