As a lowly user without root access (on some machines), I sometimes have
to install Perl modules to run other software. I know that it is, in general,
possible to create a "local" installation, where all modules
reside in their respective subdirectories to the program directory
and/or the current directory.
But as I found, it is not as easy to give the "right" options to
both, ppd and Makefile.pl, as I think it should be. If some kind soul could
either point me to a page with detailed instructions on how to make
both methods of installation (CPAN/ppd and manual installation)
work with non-root, I'd be very grateful.
PS: By detailed, I mean a bit more than just "perl -w Makefile.pl --help"
or "just add the right prefix" - something more user friendly.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
