Don't build things in /usr/local/src.  Build in your home directory,
as an unprivileged user, only do 'make install' as root.  Otherwise
you will probably run into a few permissions problems.  That might be
the cause of your problem here but I'd like to hear what happens when
you build in your home directory before claiming victory on this one.

Stas, I notice that in

http://perl.apache.org/docs/1.0/guide/install.html#A_Summary_of_a_Basic_mod_perl_Installation

we start with

% cd /usr/src
% lwp-download ...

which clearly won't work in the vast majority of installations because
a non-root user won't have write permission there.  I can't believe we
haven't noticed that before, it should be changed.  Shall I do it?

73,
Ged.
