Hello, (Firstly, Thanks to Matt Trout for pointing me to this forum. I re- post my question below).
I'm using perl on AIX, and my version is v5.8.2. (Also, I'm a regular user, with no write permissions to run "make install", so installing everything on my local home directory). My primary interest is in module Mail::Box. I downloaded this, and realized that I needed to install several pre-requisites. Subsequently, I tried installing pre-requisites such as, TimeDate-1.20, Encode-2.39, and so on. For each of these, as per instructions, I tried the following steps in sequence: 1. perl Makefile.PL 2. make 3. make test 4. make install (This fails, I think, because I don't have any root or super user permissions to make a site-wide install. Is that correct? Steps 1 and 2 succeeded. Step 3 in each of the modules that I attempted to install on my home directory, gives an error that seems to say none of the *.t files are readable. Example error is below. Am I doing something wrong? Can someone please help? Also, I should be able to use the modules locally from my home directory's subdirectories, even though Step 4 fails. Is that right? Thanks a lot.
