I would like to install CPAN modules with the cpan command. Since I
don't have
write permission to the Perl installation directories, I need to do a
local installation.

After playing around with the cpan command a bit and looking at the
source code of
CPAN::Config, I created a $HOME/.cpan/CPAN/MyConfig.pm with the
following content:

$CPAN::Config->{cpan_home}="$ENV{HOME}/.cpan";
$CPAN::Config->{keep_source_where}=$CPAN::Config->{cpan_home}.'/
sources';
$CPAN::Config->{histfile}=$CPAN::Config->{cpan_home}.'/history';
$CPAN::Config->{build_dir}=$CPAN::Config->{cpan_home}.'/build';

This works fine for download and test, but install still tries to
write the modules into
the Perl installation directory. In addition, I get during install the
error message

sh: /Perl/cpan-autoconfig: not found

What is broken here?
