  • The issue is right there in (5): permissions. Try: 'sudo ./Build install' – neilfws Nov 29 '16 at 03:54

Do not have write permissions on '/usr/local/bin' Looks like you need to run the build script as root, so use the 'sudo' command like 

sudo ./Build install

On a separate note, is there a specific reason you need to compile Bioperl from source? Using your distro's package manager would be the easiest way to go about getting bioperl running with the least number of headaches. Check out https://bioperl.org/INSTALL.html for a number of options for installing.
