Hi,
I was unable to install Math::Symbolic to a local directory using CPAN.
I have set a local module install directory using
cpan[1]> o conf makepl_arg INSTALL_BASE=/short/y42/perl
cpan[1] > o conf mbuildpl_arg '--install_base /mydir/perl'
cpan[1] > o conf commit
which works fine for installing other modules. However, the
installation for Math::Symbolic seems to just be ignoring that and
trying to install system-wide. The error is as follows:
cpan[1]> install Math::Symbolic
...
All tests successful.
Files=52, Tests=1129, 222 wallclock secs ( 0.36 usr 0.11 sys + 76.53

You may have to su to root to install the package
(Or you may want to run something like
o conf make_install_make_command 'sudo make'
to raise your permissions.Stopping: 'install' failed for 'Module::Build'.
Failed during this command:
LEONT/Module-Build-0.4007.tar.gz : install NO
$ perl -v
This is perl, v5.10.1 (*) built for x86_64-linux
Could you please look into why the standard CPAN local installation
approach doesn't work here?
Many thanks,
Josh
