Bug#632830: dh-make-perl: Should configure away /root/.cpan

[Nicholas Bamber]

Package: dh-make-perl
Version: 0.73-1
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream


After I upgraded dh-make-perl it tried to download the CPAN tarballs to
somewhere below /root/.cpan . To continue working I cleaned out /root/.cpan
and made it universally writeable but I do not believe this is correct. 
It should be possible to make a temporary directoy and use that 
and to do something sensible with the CPAN config to facilitate this.
