I'll continue, but if you encounter problems, they may be due
to insufficient permissions.

I'm having problems with Cpan, I'm new to this and I think I've messed something up. I have installed a couple of modules ok, including LWP::UserAgent which I just installed as per the default install, I now know this can cause problems. I'm now trying to install SOAP::Lite and get this error
mkdir /Library/Perl/5.8.1/XML/Parser: Permission denied at /System/Library/Perl/5.8.1/ExtUtils/Install.pm line 177

As you can see my default module directory is called y as I just hit Y during setup. Sigh. How can I fix this?
Many thanks Emma
