[Bioperl-l] newbie wants install help

[hari jayaram]

Hi I am trying to install bioperl as a non root user since I dont have root
access on the machine.

I was following the instructions as given on the wiki at
http://bioperl.open-bio.org/wiki/Installing_Bioperl_for_Unix
I started from scratch using perl version v5.8.5 and used cpan to install
the bioperl module prerequisites bundle Bundle::BioPerl since I thought it
was needed. Everything worked just fine
I could use cpan as a non root user following instructions given at
http://www.dcc.fc.up.pt/~pbrandao/aulas/0203/AR/modules_inst_cpan.html

But when I try to install bioperl using the instructions for non-root I get
an error when I build Module::Build because I am not root.
Iget the same Module::Build error when I try to install without CPAN using
command line script perl Build.PL --install_base option as given on the
wiki.

Is there a way out

Thanks for your help in advance
