Hello,
I need for a Perl script to install on a Linux box the LWP Library
(LWP::Bundle) and the Mail::Mailer module.
I want to install these localy in my account at my ISP and I can't su
to root. I tried to install these locally, via the CPAN module, but
even if I give to MakeFile.pl a prefix pointing to my user repertory,
the CPAN module still insist to install the modules in repertories
for which I don't have any permissions. And since I can't su to root,
I don't know what to do.
This is the content of my CPAN configuration:
cpan> o conf
CPAN::Config options and /home/emm/.cpan/CPAN/MyConfig.pm:
commit Commit changes to disk
defaults Reload defaults from disk
init Interactive setting of all options
build_cache 10
build_dir /home/emm/.cpan/build
cpan_home /home/emm/.cpan
ftp /usr/bin/ftp
ftp_proxy
getcwd cwd
gzip /usr/bin/gzip
http_proxy
inactivity_timeout 0
index_expire 1
inhibit_startup_message 0
keep_source_where /home/emm/.cpan/sources
lynx /usr/bin/lynx
make /usr/bin/make
make_arg
make_install_arg
makepl_arg /home/emm/bin
ncftpget /usr/bin/ncftpget
no_proxy
pager /usr/bin/less
prerequisites_policy follow
scan_cache atstart
shell /bin/bash
tar /bin/tar
unzip /usr/bin/unzip
urllist
ftp://cpan.chebucto.ns.ca/pub/CPAN/
wait_list
wait://ls6.informatik.uni-dortmund.de:1404
Am I missing something here. Maybe I have to pass some arguments to
make_install_arg, but I can't find info on this on the web.
TIA
Cheers
-Emmanuel
