Judging by the path displayed here, you were a little quick on the trigger, and answered 'y' when the configuration requsted a pathname. Don't feel bad, it's happened before - check the list archives. :-) To fix that, look in /System/Library/Perl/CPAN/Config.pm for the following hash members, which by default have paths like you see here: 'build_dir' => q[/var/root/.cpan/build], 'cpan_home' => q[/var/root/.cpan], 'keep_source_where' => q[/var/root/.cpan/sources], If you really do want to use "~/y" instead of /var/root, you need to specify it as a full path name, such as "/Users/myname/y". sherm--
