Hi Ken

I have cpan set up to use 'sudo' when it's building it's what I've done everyother time but there's something odd about this box - if I run make or make test I get cascade of permissions errors caused by trying to write to /Library/perl. It's like it can't seem to equate admin status to root.

This failure is probably unrelated to your other ones - it's a test
bug in Module::Build 0.30 (which we'll have a fix for in a few days).
The workaround is to make sure you run cpan as your normal user, and
only use 'sudo' for the 'install' phase.  That's a safer way to
operate anyway.
