[ Reported by Alan J. Flavell on clp.modules ]
The answer for "How do I keep my own module/library directory?"
seems to be out-of-date:
When you build modules, use the PREFIX option when generating
Makefiles:
perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=/u/mydir/perl
then either set the PERL5LIB environment variable before you
run scripts that use the modules/libraries (see perlrun) or say
use lib '/u/mydir/perl';
This puts my .pm files in
/u/mydir/perl/lib/perl5/site_perl/$VERSION
So I've changed the answer to suggest "LIB=" instead.
(Better suggestions welcome.)
