Just because it's a tar.gz doesn't mean that it needs compiling. Generally
speaking, if there are '.xs' and/or '.c' files contained in the tarball, it
needs compiling. Otherwise it doesn't.

Except that, in this case, 'make install' will be trying to install into
/my/perl/directory ... but, yes - you may need 'root' privileges :-)

Best way is to try it and see what problems you get.

If it needs compiling, and you can't compile it on the target machine, then
that is right. And, as the perlmodinstall documentation points out, it needs
to have been compiled for that particular target platform.

Which module(s) are you wanting to install ?
What is the OS of the server ?

Cheers,
