Package: perl
Version: 5.8.8-7
Severity: normal

"o conf" says that I have the following:

    makepl_arg         LIB=~/lib/site_perl INSTALLMAN1DIR=~/man/man1 
INSTALLMAN3DIR=~/man/man3

Note: these variables correspond to what is documented in the
CPAN(3perl) man page:

   5)  I am not root, how can I install a module in a personal directory?

       You will most probably like something like this:

         o conf makepl_arg "LIB=~/myperl/lib \
                           INSTALLMAN1DIR=~/myperl/man/man1 \
                           INSTALLMAN3DIR=~/myperl/man/man3"

But I get the following error:

cpan> install Math::MPFR
[...]
Running make install
mkdir /usr/local/man: Permission denied at 
/usr/share/perl/5.8/ExtUtils/Install.pm line 112
make: *** [pure_site_install] Error 13
  /usr/bin/make install UNINST=1 -- NOT OK

because cpan wants to install the man pages in /usr/local/man instead
of ~/man.
