Root permission is not required at all. If you need root permission then
there is something wrong with the system you are on or the installer.
However, the installer worked fine for me so I'm guessing its something
about your system.

Try something, try running perl ./Makefile.PL and see if that works. It
*could* be a minor but known bug in the FindBin module. Completely
ignore the ./configure command at this point. See what happens.
