Package: perl Version: 5.8.8-7 Severity: normal "o conf" says that I have the following:
makepl_arg LIB=~/lib/site_perl INSTALLMAN1DIR=~/man/man1 INSTALLMAN3DIR=~/man/man3 Note: these variables correspond to what is documented in the CPAN(3perl) man page: 5) I am not root, how can I install a module in a personal directory? You will most probably like something like this: o conf makepl_arg "LIB=~/myperl/lib \ INSTALLMAN1DIR=~/myperl/man/man1 \ INSTALLMAN3DIR=~/myperl/man/man3" But I get the following error: cpan> install Math::MPFR [...] Running make install mkdir /usr/local/man: Permission denied at /usr/share/perl/5.8/ExtUtils/Install.pm line 112 make: *** [pure_site_install] Error 13 /usr/bin/make install UNINST=1 -- NOT OK because cpan wants to install the man pages in /usr/local/man instead of ~/man. -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-4-686-bigmem Locale: LANG=POSIX, LC_CTYPE=en_US.ISO8859-1 (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages perl depends on: ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-11 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libdb4.4 4.4.20-8 Berkeley v4.4 Database Libraries [ ii libgdbm3 1.8.3-3 GNU dbm database routines (runtime ii perl-base 5.8.8-7 The Pathologically Eclectic Rubbis ii perl-modules 5.8.8-7 Core Perl modules Versions of packages perl recommends: ii perl-doc 5.8.8-7 Perl documentation -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
