Sorry for the delay in replying. This is due to the 'base' parameter in CPANPLUS being set to a directory that only root has access to, such as '/root/.cpanplus'. For now you can change the base parameter to a directory that the user has access to (perhaps create a "perl" group and give the user who runs YACSmoke membership of that group, and give that group rw access to the directory). A patch to fix this will be uploaded to CVS soon.
