I downloaded CamelBone and installed it. All okay.

Then, I tried to install Mac::Glue but it seemed to fail because of this:

Running make install
Warning: You do not have permissions to install into
/usr/local/cb/perl5.8.4/lib/site_perl/5.8.4/darwin-thread-multi-2level
at /usr/local/cb/perl5.8.4/lib/5.8.4/ExtUtils/Install.pm line 114.

176
make: *** [pure_site_install] Error 255
/usr/bin/make install -- NOT OK

what do I need to do to fix this? Su as root and grant permissions?
In which case what kind of permissions should I grant on this
directory?

No, you don't need to change permissions on the directory. You need to
run the 'make install' step as root.

If you're doing the install manually, use 'sudo' to run the final step,
like this:

sudo make install

If you're using the CPAN shell, use 'sudo' when you start it, like this:

sudo cpan

Or like this:

sudo perl -MCPAN -e shell
