OK, so now I am trying to use local::lib to install the modules. However as soon as I run the command " perl Makefile.PL --bootstrap=/my_directory_of_choice" , I get the following message:

Any suggestions?

- ExtUtils::ParseXS ...missing.

the installation may fail due to insufficient permissions.
