[gentoo-perl] Problem with g-cpan and Task::Catalyst

[Michele Beltrame]

Hello!

I'm trying to install the module Task::Catalyst (which is a bundle) 
using g-cpan. It seems this module wants to use CPANPLUS.  I get the 
following error with g-cpan:

ACCESS DENIED  mkdir:     /root/.cpanplus
*** You are not allowed to write to the directory '/root/.cpanplus';
     the installation may fail due to insufficient permissions.

The complete report of the error is at the bottom of this message.
I am root, so I should have the correct permissions. Morevoer, if I 
install this way:

cpan -i Task::Catalyst

that is, directly with CPAN, everything works correctly and the 
.cpanplus directory gets created with no problem.

Any idea?

	Thanks, Michele.
