If you are not root or the permission of the default installation directory (that is usually somewhere in /usr, but that location varies from installation to installation) does not allow writing by your user, installing will fail and you should see error message while "make install", so it is easy to spot.
You will need to pass additional parameter to "perl Makefile.PL" to override the default installation location such as when installing with user privilege. I think it is something like (I have not installed modules as a user for so long)
perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=/home/blablabla/libs
If you are just a normal user and do not have root, I guess you can only install it in your home directory and others will not be able to use it.
