If you've got privileged access to your machine then you can simply do `perl -MCPAN -e 'install q[File::Find::Rule]'` [download] to install the module. However, if you're an unprivileged user you just need to set the path to somewhere that you can write to e.g `shell> perl -MCPAN -e shell cpan shell -- CPAN exploration and modules installation (v1.65) ReadLine support enabled cpan> o conf makepl_arg PREFIX="/your/path/to/perl/lib"` [download] Or if you're installing from an unpacked tarball, just pass the `PREFIX` parameter to the `Makefile.PL` e.g `perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=/your/path/to/perl/lib` [download] Then just add `/your/path/to/perl/lib` to `@INC` either through `lib` or the environment variable `$PERL5LIB` e.g `use lib '/your/path/to/perl/lib'; use File::Find::Rule;` [download] HTH `_________ broquaint`	[reply] [d/l] [select]

I'm definately an unprivileged user and `shell> perl -MCPAN -e shell cpan shell -- CPAN exploration and modules installation (v1.65) ReadLine support enabled cpan> o conf makepl_arg PREFIX="/your/path/to/perl/lib"` [download] - what is this doing exactly ? I am interested but I doubt whether I could do this anyway for fear of messing the system up. Thanks	[reply] [d/l]

It just passes the `PREFIX` to the `Makefile.PL` when the module is being built automatically, as described in the manpage: `makepl_arg arguments passed to 'perl Makefile.PL` [download] Which allows you to install module via `CPAN` to a user-defined path. HTH `_________ broquaint`	[reply] [d/l]
