I'm obviously doing something Dumb.
I've just built perl 5.6.2:
$ sh Configure -de -Dprefix=/home/david/cpantesting/perl-5.6.2
$ make
$ make test (one test failure cos the machine has too new a Berkeley DB)
$ make install
But then when I try to install modules:
$ perl-5.6.2/bin/perl -MCPAN -e shell
> install CPAN
...
Warning: You do not have permissions to install into /usr/lib/perl/5.8 at
/usr/share/perl/5.8/ExtUtils/Install.pm line 114.
Installing /usr/share/perl/5.8/Test/HACKING.pod

make: *** [pure_perl_install] Error 13
/usr/bin/make install -- NOT OK
You may have to su to root to install the package
which is *very* odd. Where is it getting all that 5.8 stuff from?
$ perl-5.6.2/bin/perl -V|grep 5.8
$ grep 5.8 perl-5.6.2/lib/5.6.2/CPAN/Config.pm
$
I'm sure I've just done something stupid, cos I know that I had this
working in the past - can someone point out what I've done wrong?
