Howdy kind monks! I need to install List::MoreUtils in a cluster. Needless to say, I do not have administrative privileges. If I do ( I used the full $HOME path, I am omitting it for the sake of brevity ):

 perl Makefile.PL INSTALL_BASE=~/usr/local/lib/perl5

After running

 make install

I get:

 Warning: You do not have permissions to install into /usr/lib64/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/x86_64-linux-thread-multi at /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/ExtUtils/Install.pm line 114.

And if I try:

 make install --directory=~/usr/local/lib/perl5

I get:

make: Entering directory `~/usr/local/lib/perl5'
make: *** No rule to make target `install'.  Stop.
make: Leaving directory `~/usr/local/lib/perl5'

I checked Makefile and I see:

 MakeMaker ARGV: (q[INSTALL_BASE=~/usr/local/lib/perl5])

But further down the file I find:

INSTALLPRIVLIB = /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8
DESTINSTALLPRIVLIB = $(DESTDIR)$(INSTALLPRIVLIB)
INSTALLSITELIB = /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8
DESTINSTALLSITELIB = $(DESTDIR)$(INSTALLSITELIB)
INSTALLVENDORLIB = /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8
DESTINSTALLVENDORLIB = $(DESTDIR)$(INSTALLVENDORLIB)
INSTALLARCHLIB = /usr/lib64/perl5/5.8.8/x86_64-linux-thread-multi
DESTINSTALLARCHLIB = $(DESTDIR)$(INSTALLARCHLIB)
INSTALLSITEARCH = /usr/lib64/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/x86_64-linux-thread

DESTINSTALLSITEARCH = $(DESTDIR)$(INSTALLSITEARCH)

DESTINSTALLVENDORARCH = $(DESTDIR)$(INSTALLVENDORARCH)

DESTINSTALLSITEBIN = $(DESTDIR)$(INSTALLSITEBIN)

DESTINSTALLVENDORBIN = $(DESTDIR)$(INSTALLVENDORBIN)

DESTINSTALLSITEMAN3DIR = $(DESTDIR)$(INSTALLSITEMAN3DIR)
INSTALLVENDORMAN3DIR = /usr/share/man/man3
DESTINSTALLVENDORMAN3DIR = $(DESTDIR)$(INSTALLVENDORMAN3DIR)

How do I change these to paths in my home folder? I also tried to use CPAN after duly specifying the same local path, but I got the same deal. Any help? Perlish regards!
