Well, the fact that it's a virtual server (which I usually call a "virtual host") shouldn't matter much for installation purposes. You will, of course, need to install the modules on a filesystem where the machine running the apache process can see them, but other than that the virtual host shouldn't cause you trouble here (because the virtual host part of things is handled by Apache, not the OS).

What part of the installation is failing? In addition to installing the actual scripts, make install will install man pages, for example. perl Makefile.PL LIB=/path only changes the installation path for the executable parts of a module installation.

Philosophy can be made out of anything. Or less -- Jerry A. Fodor
