Sorry, maybe my phrasing was misleading. Obviously I read the error
and understood what Permission Denied means but having checked that
my account was admin and this being the first module I have ever
installed I was not sure what to do to get access.
Rather that writing "Does that make any sense", I should of wrote
"How do I get round this".

Does that make sense to any of you guys?
Yes, and it would make sense to you too if you bothered reading it.
Which part of "Warning: You do not have permissions to install into
/usr/local/man/" is so difficult to understand?
Run the CPAN shell as root as all will be well.
