Where did I miss seeing that configure can be used as a part of the installation of a Perl module?

I don't know if it'd work to substitute /yourpath2lstree for the -lstree that's in the Makefile.PL I did: perldoc ExtUtils::MakeMaker (no I didn't, actually instead, what I did is in the Konqueror address bar I entered: #ExtUtils::MakeMaker (I find that a fun way to view doc sometimes) Such doc, amongst many others, listed: perl '-V:install.*' That outputs a listing of Eviron vars and their values relevant I guess to the module installation. I'm wondering if the Perl module install tries to access any something different vars than the ones you showed you set for your own user environment using .bash_profile (maybe not: on my box, as user or as root, the command perl '-V:install.*' lists the same output results. but, I don't have anything set in .bash_profile Interesting that: http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~cpk25/libstree/ lists no other dependencies. So, given that you've access to a C compiler as a user then, unless is something else unawares that needs root priv. in order to access, it appears that there should be a way to do what you want. I'm trying to learn more of these sorts of things myself. So, if you find a fix, please reply about it and what you found that's involved to make it work.
