Trying to get a better handle on how perl installs things, and the logic behind it. So I can have modules installed to a local directory, multiple versions of a module, and so on.
Now, with respect to
Installing modules locally
and especially to tinita's answer at
Re: Installing modules locally
just use:
Makefile.PL PREFIX=/home/gabor/perl5lib LIB=/home/gabor/perl5lib
At least this has been working well for me. All modules are now instal
+led in the given directory instead of architecture-dependant ones and
+ such and in the architecture dependant ones.
I'd like to ask, what is the meaning of the "PREFIX" and "LIB" parameters to makefile?
And where's this documented?

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
