in thread CPAN ask me install a package repeatly

Have you tried running the command w/ sudo?

sudo perl -MCPAN -e 'install File::Basename'

[plantae]

I install modules in my local directory, without any problem .
This problem only occurs after I try to install perl-5.15.4.
sudo only applies if I have root access.

I'm fairly ignorant as to what's really happening when I install a module via MCPAN, but in my experience it seems that some modules require root to install properly...but let me know if this is a misconception on my part!
