 I'm getting a simple error message every time I install via CPAN:
 
 Scanning cache /Users/phil/.cpan/build for sizes
 Deleting from cache: /Users/phil/.cpan/build/perl-5.6.1 (31.40.0 MB)
 Can't make directory /Users/phil/.cpan/build/perl-5.6.1 read+writeable:
 Operation not permitted at /System/Library/Perl/CPAN.pm line 910
 
 This is a leftover from when I upgraded 5.6.0 - 5.6.1 (and is obviously
 still left in the build directory) on 10.1.5. Is it just a case of making
 the directory 0755 and deleting or is there something else to take into
 account (I've studied CPAN.pm 910 and can't quite make it out)?
 
 All other modules are deleted after installation automatically (CPAN 1.63)
 so any advice welcome :-)

You should be safe to delete anything in the build directory.  I'd just rm 
-rf .cpan/build/*.

Thanks for that. Will do.
