=head2 Where does this install modules to? Do I need root access?

It installs to wherever ExtUtils::MakeMaker and Module::Build are
configured to (via C<PERL_MM_OPT> and C<PERL_MB_OPT>). So if you're
using local::lib, then it installs to your local perl5
directory. Otherwise it installs to the site_perl directory that
belongs to your perl.
