Are they using the same copy of Perl itself? Run: `which perl` [download] ... at the command line for each user. `package Cow { use Moo; has name => (is => 'lazy', default => sub { 'Mooington' }) } say Cow->new->name`	[reply] [d/l]

I don't understand why? If you look inside Makefile.PL you will see it uses, ExtUtils::MakeMaker ExtUtils::MakeMaker lists many options like INSTALL_BASE ... which can be specified in different ways RTFM to the rescue again	[reply]

Hi, Anonymous Monk, Yes, i know it. But, in this case no INSTALL_BASE option is specified for both users. So, i'm looking for where the default value is configured and i can't find.	[reply]

The answer was in the link. Do `perl "-V:install.*"` As each user. One of the users probably has a .cpan directory with a MyConfig.pm. -derby	[reply] [d/l]

Is it possible that from cpan configuration? In this case, how to change it? Thanks again.	[reply]

I guess the user2 could have used the `perl Makefile.PL PREFIX="path"` Install the same module using the cpan command and check where it is installing?	[reply] [d/l]

The user2 has environment variables PERL_MM_OPT defined in his bash config file. Thank you very mush for all your helps!	[reply]

Did you use perl -V to figure that out? `$ perl -V \|tail -n8 \|head -n3 %ENV: PERL_MB_OPT=" --config installhtmldir= --binhtml= " PERL_MM_OPT="shamalamadingdong"` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
