In the past with a 5.8 version of Strawberry, I was able to install modules
using cpan. For some reason this stopped working. I nuked my previous version
of Strawberry and installed 5.10.1 (compiled Oct 21 2009 13:54:15). I still get
the same result. It seems that I can extract the files and sub-directories into
a temporary directory but the sub-directories under the module install
directory in the cpan\build directory is not being created. I have pasted the
messages I get below. Can someone point in the right direction to figure this
out? I do have administrator rights on this WinXP Professional.
