RE: [vps-mail] Installing new Perl modules

You will need root user permissions, is this your own server or one that is
hosted?  If hosted, then you can ask your host to do the install for you.

Subject: [vps-mail] Installing new Perl modules


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?
