Installing Net::SMTP as non-root



I'm using a web-server on a virtualhost, and trying to install
Net::SMTP. I have CPAN configured to install into ~/perl (per the
appropriate changes in ~/.cpan/CPAN/MyConfig.pm).

However, the install is failing with the following error:

...
Running make install
Cannot forceunlink /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.7/Net/Cmd.pm: Permission denied
at /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.7/File/Find.pm line 913
Unlinking /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.7/Net/Cmd.pm (shadowing?)
make: *** [pure_perl_install] Error 13
/usr/bin/make install UNINST=1 -I/home/sunlifed/perl -- NOT OK

I do not have root access to this server, and they seem to have
Net::Cmd installed.

Can anyone suggest how I might be able to circumvent this problem, and
get Net::SMTP installed?

Thanks in advance,

Brian
