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.

Thanks, S
