Subject: some dot host dot com.au weekly run output

Reformatting manual pages:

catman: /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.6/man/cat3: mkdir: Permission denied
catman: /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.6/perl/man/cat3: mkdir: Permission denied

-----End of forwarded message-----

i'm not sure about how to fix this, i recall trying root:wheel
and the same as the files around these two some time ago with
the same results, all this i did via sudo mechanisms, as well,
when i go to that locations i find a ... man3/ not as the error
message says a cat3/

well it does say "mkdir: permission denied" so i guess that
because its been permision denied then it could not make them
ergo no directory and no relevent files, ok kick me .. grin
small. the machine is a v5.4 setup the structure has not
changed that much between v5.4 and v6.2, yes, no ??

i've tired looking around but keep drawing blanks on this one,
a hint/suggestion/pionter would be appreciated 

kind regards

jonathan
