in reply to Comparing Directories
Also, if your SysAdmin won't let you install Perl modules in the usual place (/usr/lib* usually I think), but you can install elsewhere, this works for me (I tried to find the reference on Google, but couldn't):
- download, and unzip the file for MyModule from CPAN
- Extract to directory ~/MyDir
- cd to ~/MyDir/MyModule
- type perl Makefile.PL PREFIX="~/PerlModules/"
- type make test; make; make install as usual for a manual install
- Find the directory in ~/PerlModules in which MyModule.pm resides.
- Edit your ~/.cshrc (different for different shells) to contain the line 'setenv PERL5LIB ~/PerlModules/Directory_For_MyModule'
edit: Found it! Here is a reference about how to install without root permissions, which also tells you an alternative to setting the environment variable PERL5LIB. And it talks about what to do on Windows.
Those are my principles. If you don't like them I have others.
