[za-pm] perl on server, where to install modules for local use

[Anne Wainwright]

Hi there,

A simple question here - but then you know my knowledge is limited!

I do my development work on my laptop, it has a local installation of
perl.

The current script that I am developing is to run on my (ubuntu) server
from my home account. I will need to install several modules for this.

Question. Do I use cpan as root  or can I just fire up $ cpan from my
home account  and install them?

many thanks
Ian
