[vps-mail] Installing new Perl modules

[Marjolein Katsma <tfyj8lv02@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hope this is the right place to ask, or at least a good place to ask; if 
not, please point me to a better place.

I'm trying to install some Perl modules needed for a utility I'd like to 
use, using CPAN. Whatever I try, somewhere during the process I always end 
up with an error message like this:

----
Running make install
Warning: You do not have permissions to install into 
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/i386-freebsd at 
/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.1/ExtUtils/Install.pm line 85.
mkdir /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/Test: Permission denied at 
/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.1/ExtUtils/Install.pm line 139
*** Error code 255

Stop in /usr/home/javawoma/.cpan/build/Test-Simple-0.47.
  /usr/bin/make install  -- NOT OK
    You may have to su to root to install the package
----

The process may continue for several stages, some with these same error 
messages, and I end up with a failed install.

(CPAN installed is v1.59_54; trying to upgrade to the latest won't work 
either, of course.)

I tried 'su root': not allowed; I also tried changing permission for 
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/i386-freebsd from 755 to 777 (just 
incase) but that didn't help either.

Any suggestions on how I can install Perl modules needed?
