Yes. The easiest way is to add this to the top of your
Perl script that uses the module:
use lib '/home/foo';
This will tell perl to look in /home/foo for modules.
Another option is to use the -I flag on your #!/path/perl
line:
#!/usr/local/bin/perl -w -I/home/foo
A final option is to set the PERL5LIB environment
variable to the path.
Personally, I'd recommend using the first option (use lib).
If you're trying to *install* modules into your home
directory, run Makefile.PL with the PREFIX option:
perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=/home/foo
And if you're using CPAN.pm, specify PREFIX=/home/foo
as the argument to Makefile.PL in the configuration
options when you first run the shell. |
