Install CPAN modules without root

I used this useful tutorial to install Perl for my user only. I am sorry that the link to an external site, but I think that reading is the only way to understand how to answer the question.

Anywho, I load the default CPAN configuration - directories .cpanand CPANcreated through the tutorial, but for some reason CPAN still wants to delve into /usr/lib/- which it just can't get - when I try to install the module. It was at installation DBD::CSV.

Here is the error message:

All tests successful (7 subtests UNEXPECTEDLY SUCCEEDED), 3 tests skipped.
Files=23, Tests=706,  3 wallclock secs ( 2.28 cusr +  0.54 csys =  2.82 CPU)
/usr/bin/make test -- OK

It seems wrong is happening perl5lib.

Did you configure myconfig.pm inside cpan instead of letting it automatically populate all the default values? During the cpan configuration, you had to add PREFIX = "for the Makefile.PL part to install the modules in this new place where you have write access. Since it is already configured automatically for you, go to .cpan / CPAN /, find MyConfig.pm and edit it. Find the line "makepl_arg" and change the value in [] to contain PREFIX = "". Then try the shell perl -MCPAN -e and install the module.
