XML::Twig fails to install on mac terminal

Question

I am trying to install twig on mac terminal but it seems to have a lot of error as follows:

Admins-MBP:~ admin$ cpan install XML::Twig
    CPAN: Storable loaded ok (v2.34)
    Reading '/Users/admin/.cpan/Metadata'
      Database was generated on Mon, 15 Aug 2016 09:17:02 GMT
    CPAN: Time::HiRes loaded ok (v1.9725)
    Warning: You are not allowed to write into directory "/Users/admin/.cpan/sources/authors".




        I'll continue, but if you encounter problems, they may be due
        to insufficient permissions.

Please check, if the URLs I found in your configuration file
(http://cpan.mirrors.uk2.net/, http://www.cpan.dk/,
http://mirror.met.hu/CPAN/) are valid. The urllist can be edited. E.g. with
'o conf urllist push ftp://myurl/'

Could not fetch authors/01mailrc.txt.gz

I think is better not to install that module in your system perl. Try perlbrew and install your own perl (and handle many diferent perls if you need it).

Then, switch easily to the proper perl, and customize it with the required modules (with cpan or cpanm).
