Installation error with CGI-Session at
I am trying to install CGI::Session on a Readhat Linux distro running Fedora Core 5.5. Its being run as a virtual machine mount through vmWare. I unpack the file from CPAN, and then run:

perl Makefile.PL

and that runs with no errors. I then run:

[root@ip-XXX-XXX-XXX-XXX CGI-Session-4.20]# make

and get the following:

make: Warning: File `Makefile' has modification time 4.2e+04 s in the future
Manifying blib/man3/CGI::Session::Test::Default.3
Can't open blib/man3/CGI::Session::Test::Default.3 for writing: Operation not permitted
at /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.8/ExtUtils/Command/MM.pm line 131
make: *** [manifypods] Error 1


I have tried searching all over about this error, only thing I found was 1 person who had issues because he was using a FAT32 file system and it having problems with the CASE of directories and such when it placed the files.. Since I'm running a virtual machine through vmWare, I'm unsure of what file system it simulates, or how to change that (or if that is even whats causing my problem).

I checked the blib/man3/CGI directory and there is nothing in there.
if anyone has any solutions or tips for how to resolve this issue, I would greatly appreciate it. And for the record, my experience with linux and the bash shell are moderate at best, so it is entirely possible its something simple I just don't know about.
