> Is it OK to "chown -R admin.admin /usr/lib/perl5"? Yes, this should be fine. The basic idea is that the modules are put in your path (I believe) so this should be OK. I've done this (as a hack) on one of my virtual servers -- for this same reason -- and it works fine. I'd also like to know if there is a more "correct" way of doing this, but this should work OK.
