Good spot! I changed permissions so 'nobody' could access the .cpan dir, and it immediately worked perfectly. Apache::Test and libapreq-1.2 now installed here!
Yup, Philippe has mentioned this to me as well. When run as 'root', we do change the perms within the current distro dir, but we don't check whether the parent dirs have the read perms. I will add this check and make the program fail with an appropriate error if that's the case. e.g.:
The directory /root/foo/Apache-Test-1.03 is not readable by user 'nobody', either make sure that all the dirs up to /root/foo/Apache-Test-1.03 are readable by that user, or move the whole tree to some other directory (e.g. /tmp) or run 'make test' as non-root!
