I take my words back , it seems that I mixed two different events . It might be related to an attempt to get a debian package directly from cpan but unfortunately I don't remember the exact case. I can guess that maybe I was trying to get a debian package directly from cpan : user@pc: ~$ dh-make-perl make --build --cpan Text::CSV::Simple == dh-make-perl 0.90 == CPAN: Time::HiRes loaded ok (v1.9726) mkdir /root/.cpan: Permission denied at /usr/share/perl/5.22/CPAN/FTP.pm line 520. > > Cheers, > > gregor > > > >
