Ok I found my problem with sitecustomize, my PERLLIB was mangled. (I had hoped I wouldn't need PERLLIB with userelocatable but that doesn't seem to be the case.)
Still looking for anyone with experience with userelocatable as Makefile.PL still hates me. bill -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Ricker, William Sent: Monday, October 17, 2011 7:17 PM To: Boston PM Subject: [Boston.pm] Anyone using sitecustomize.pl or userelocatableinc ? I am attempting to build Perl 5.14.2 with -D userelocatableinc option and -D usesitecustomize . This is because local IT filesystem convention does not permit applications-team supported code in nonvarying FS name like /opt. I can build Perl and DBI etc, but need to be able to deploy into each business app's filesystem. Perl doesn't normally like that. Perl 5.10 added these two optional features to support that, but they don't seem to be used much, at least not together on Unix. (ActiveState at least uses sitecustomize.pl normally.) My intent is to use -Dusesitecustomize 's special $Config{sitelib}/sitecustomize.pl file in final location to patch paths, after building with fictional prefix and make install DESTDIR=$HOME/test/perl5 for test and cpanp module builds . Alas, sitecustomize.pl doesn't seem to be found when $Config{sitelib} (or rather the compiled in C version actually used) is a relative not absolute path, as is if and only if userelocatableinc is in effect - $ head -2 perl/lib/site_perl/5.14.2/sitecustomize.pl print "sitecustomize.pl\n"; $ perl/bin/perl -MConfig -E 'say $Config{sitelib}; say $Config{usesitecustomize};' .../../lib/site_perl/5.14.2 define $ (The magic '...' meaning 'my executable' seems to be not supported in a few other places to, I logged a bug against Ext-MM today, and perldoc's use of Perldoc::ToMan also gets confused.) Maybe I need to set up ENV differently before running a userelocatableinc Perl, but my PATH and PERLLIB seem sufficient.
