I am using perlbrew and cpanm. Upon doing cpanm Test::More I get the following:

Can anybody tell me why I am getting the; cannot unlink file, cannot restore permissions and cannot remove directory errors?
Would changing the permissions on /home/hamid/.cpanm/work be a wise solution to solve the problem?
Thanks
You probably ran cpanm as root at some time and changed the permissions in your local directory by doing so. You can fix that through:
sudo chown -R hamid:hamid ~/.cpanm
then it should work fine again.
