After I do
perl Makefile.PL it ends without asking me if I want to install some 
required modules, exactly as when it is all right.

But I've just discovered:

root at ebroker:~# perl -MDBIx::Class::Schema::Loader -e 'print 
"$DBIx::Class::Schema::Loader::VERSION\n"'
0.04005
root at ebroker:~# su www-data
www-data at ebroker:~$ perl -MDBIx::Class::Schema::Loader -e 'print 
"$DBIx::Class::Schema::Loader::VERSION\n"'
0.05003
www-data at ebroker:~$

So the user www-data sees a newer version of this module because it has the 
following PERL5LIB:
/srv/perl5/lib/perl5:/srv/perl5/lib/perl5:/srv/perl5/lib/perl5/x86_64-linux-gnu-thread-multi
while the user root has no PERL5LIB environment variable defined.

I have installed most of the modules using local::lib, but I couldn't 
install some of them because they give an error telling that they can't 
create the directory
/home/t1
where it tries to install the modules, (t1 was an old user that doesn't 
exist anymore). This error is given by the module ExtUtils::Install but even 
though I searched in many places I couldn't find where it gets that "t1" 
from.
