Non-root Module Install problemsby fireartist (Chaplain) |

fireartist has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
Hi, I can't find the solution to my particular problem in the tutorial/modules section, or on cpan FAQ. Also, the particular modules' docs don't provide the needed info. I wish to install modules to my folder '~/lib', but I also want to tell MakeMaker to check that same folder to satisfy dependencies. Example: If I try to MakeMaker the HTML::Template module, it fails, saying it needs File::Spec. O.k., so I make and install File::Spec using At this point, it fails to install properly, so I just copy the created files and folders to my '~/lib' directory. Then running a perl script with - - in it succeeds. O.k., so now I try to install HTML::Template. It now fails, still saying it needs File::Spec. So again, my question is, how do I tell it 'install in my lib dir and ALSO check my lib dir to satisfy dependencies?'. (Side Note) I asked my hosts if they could install the Perl module HTML::Template, and they said "Since we do not support this, you may upload the program to your cgi-bin or the directory where your scripts are uploaded. " Sounds like they think I was asking them to install a script. Do their tech-support not know what a Perl module is? :) Thanks for any help. fireartist
