I take my words back , it seems that I mixed two different events . 

It might be related to an attempt to get a debian package directly from cpan  but unfortunately I don't remember the exact case.
I can guess that maybe I was trying to get a debian package directly from cpan : 

user at pc: ~$ dh-make-perl make --build  --cpan Text::CSV::Simple

== dh-make-perl 0.90 ==
CPAN: Time::HiRes loaded ok (v1.9726)
mkdir /root/.cpan: Permission denied at /usr/share/perl/5.22/CPAN/FTP.pm line 520.
