thx! but it still doesn't work.

There was no Config.pm on nightshade, so I used the Config.pm of hemlock.

After that I continued following the instructions of 
https://wiki.toolserver.org/view/Installing_perl_modules_into_your_$HOME

Sorry, we have to rerun the configuration dialog for CPAN.pm due to
some missing parameters...

Normally CPAN.pm keeps config variables in memory and changes need to
be saved in a separate 'o conf commit' command to make them permanent
between sessions. If you set the 'auto_commit' option to true, changes
to a config variable are always automatically committed to disk.

  <auto_commit>
Always commit changes to config variables to disk? [no]

A Build.PL is run by perl in a separate process. Likewise we run
'./Build' and './Build install' in separate processes. If you have any
parameters you want to pass to the calls, please specify them here.

Typical frequently used settings:

     --install_base /home/xxx             # different installation directory

  <mbuildpl_arg>
Parameters for the 'perl Build.PL' command? []

Parameters for the './Build' command? Setting might be:

     --extra_linker_flags -L/usr/foo/lib  # non-standard library location

  <mbuild_arg>
Your choice: []

Do you want to use a different command for './Build install'? Sudo
users will probably prefer:

     su root -c ./Build
  or
     sudo ./Build
  or
     /path1/to/sudo -u admin_account ./Build

  <mbuild_install_build_command>
or some such. Your choice: [./Build]

Parameters for the './Build install' command? Typical frequently used
setting:

     --uninst 1                           # uninstall conflicting files

  <mbuild_install_arg>
Your choice: []
