FreeBSD-3.2-RELEASE and the stock Perl 5.005_03.
Module Storable.pm (version Storable-0.6@4.tar.gz)

>Description:

It should be possible to install a standard Perl module without
root privileges. This is documented in the Perl Cookbook and works
as advertised in OpenBSD-2.5 (recent snap) which also bundles Perl
5.005_03, but it fails with FreeBSD.

>How-To-Repeat:

Login as non superuser.
mkdir ~/lib
tar -xvzf Storable-0.6@4.tar.gz
cd Storable-0.6@4
# LIB value should allow non-root install to local dir
perl Makefile.PL LIB=~/lib
make
make test
make install

"make test" succeeds. "make install" fails with the following error:

mkdir /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.00503: Permission denied at /usr/libdata/perl/5.00503/ExtUtils/Install.pm line 57
*** Error code 2
