You (almost) never need root access to run a module, and also (almost) never need root access to install a module - as long you install it to a directory you've got write access to. See installing local modules for example. "What should it profit a man, if he should win a flame war, yet lose his cool?"	[reply]

Umm... No. No, it doesn't. I've written a couple Perl apps which use Image::Magick and they all work perfectly well when run as a non-privileged user. I'm not 100% certain, but I'm pretty sure I've never run any of them as root, not even a single time.	[reply]
