Installing Perl modules as a non-root user
local::lib is a Perl module that sets everything up so you can install distributions from CPAN into your home directory. This means you won’t need root access, and ensures that anything you install will not interfere with the either the system Perl or any other users.
And of course, local::lib itself can be installed without root permissions, so there’s no need to bother your sysadmin at all!
