Hi all,

Here is a familiar question that I have asked a number of times yet
noone has yet come up with an answer.  Just wondering whether someone
out there might have a solution! :)  See the following URL for a
previous thread...

http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg02206.html

The skel that we are using (freevsd-skel-1_4_10-1rh6 from the idaya cd)
does not seem to allow the 'admin' user to install Perl modules by
default (as none of the directories in @INC are writable by admin)  

The can be solved (ish) by chowning all the directories below
/usr/lib/perl5 to admin.  But it isnt very nice (errors about
perldoc.pod) and it means that the admin user cannot update modules that
already exist (in skel) if he/she chooses.

So my proposed solution is to allow the user to write to
/usr/local/lib/perl5 and to get perl to look here for modules before
trying /usr/lib/perl5 (where the skel files are)

I basically want it to act like the admin user has typed...

perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=/usr/local/lib/perl5

...when they install a Perl module and for it to act like they have
put...

use lib /usr/local/lib/perl5

... In each script without them actually having to do it.  Is this
possible and if so, anyone got an idea how?

Thanks,


Ben Kennish
