OK - so install the perl modules (manually) into a suitable location,
and tweak the @INC search list to look there.

Being root is nessary for an automatic install of the Net-SNMP perl modules
(and hence for running anything that relies on these, like mib2c).
It is not necessary for a private install of the rest of the Net-SNMP suite.
