Q. How do I install a Perl module without having root?
A. 1 (edit)
When you build modules, use the PREFIX and LIB options when generating Makefiles:
perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=/mydir/perl LIB=/mydir/perl/lib
then either set the PERL5LIB environment variable before you run
scripts that use the modules/libraries (see perlrun) or say
use lib '/mydir/perl/lib';
This is almost the same as
BEGIN {
unshift(@INC, '/mydir/perl/lib');
}
except that the lib module checks for machine-dependent
subdirectories. See Perl's lib for more information.
