Actually root access is NOT required to install perl modules.
As long as you:
cognac:~perl Makefile.PL `cat ../catfile.txt`
and catfile.txt looks a little like this:
PREFIX=/path/to/opensrs/lib \
INSTALLPRIVLIB=/path/to/opensrs/lib \
INSTALLSCRIPT=/path/to/opensrs/bin \
INSTALLSITELIB=/path/to/opensrs/lib \
INSTALLBIN=/path/to/opensrs/bin \
INSTALLMAN1DIR=/path/to/opensrs/lib/man \
INSTALLMAN3DIR=/path/to/opensrs/lib/man/man3
