Answer

The 1st two steps don't require su privileges:

perl Makefile.PL
make

However, the last step does. Use "sudo"

sudo make install

Answer

If "sudo" does not solve the problem, notice the error says "Read-only file system at... "

My guess is that /usr/local/share is a remote filesystem mounted read-only. But you need to modify a file on it..
