I'm trying to install Math::Calculus::Expression and am coming across a
strange problem in CPAN.
First of all, 'install Math::Calculus::Expression' doesn't work for some
reason, because it can't be found (neither with 'i /Expression/').
Trying with the file path also fails in a bizarre way:

That's just really beyond me. Only root can then delete that tmp
directory. What's going on? (I've had no similar problem installing a
whole host of other modules via CPAN, including Bundle::CPAN)
