cpan installation
Hi All,

I need to install perl module using cpan, so befor that i checked cpan is installed or not . i tried , and got below output.but it is not clear to me.
can u plz explain me.

I dont know what the exactly cpan is useful. and in below why it is trying to create directory.

Code:
 
[user01@03 ~]$ cpan
Terminal does not support AddHistory.
Your configuration suggests "/root/.cpan" as your
CPAN.pm working directory. I could not create this directory due
to this error: mkdir /root/.cpan: Permission denied at /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.5/CPAN.pm line 553
 
Please make sure the directory exists and is writable.

CPANPLUS::Shell(3pm)					 Perl Programmers Reference Guide				      CPANPLUS::Shell(3pm)

NAME

       CPANPLUS::Shell - base class for CPANPLUS shells

SYNOPSIS

	   use CPANPLUS::Shell; 	    # load the shell indicated by your
					    # config -- defaults to
					    # CPANPLUS::Shell::Default

	   use CPANPLUS::Shell qw[Classic]  # load CPANPLUS::Shell::Classic;

	   my $ui      = CPANPLUS::Shell->new();
	   my $name    = $ui->which;	    # Find out what shell you loaded

	   $ui->shell;			    # run the ui shell

DESCRIPTION

       This module is the generic loading (and base class) for all "CPANPLUS" shells. Through this module you can load any installed "CPANPLUS"
       shell.

       Just about all the functionality is provided by the shell that you have loaded, and not by this class (which merely functions as a generic
       loading class), so please consult the documentation of your shell of choice.
