LocalModInstall(1) LocalModInstall(1) NAME LocalModInstall - Install Perl modules locally (into your home directory) SYNOPSIS perl -S LocalModInstall.pl make make test make install DESCRIPTION Install the "LocalModInstall" package using the usual incantation perl Makefile.PL make install or move the file "LocalModInstall.pl" into one of the directories in your $PATH and make it executable ("chmod a+x LocalModInstall.pl"). Then use perl -S LocalModInstall.pl instead of perl Makefile.PL whenever you want to install a module locally. After that, use make make test make install as usual. The script "LocalModInstall.pl" will print out the correct settings to use for the "use lib" statement in your scripts or the "PERL5LIB" environment variable, as well as the "MANPATH" environment variable.
