They made perl safer, not more difficult to use My point was that Perl is making one thing more difficult to do - and, by implication, that thing is being discouraged! I was not suggesting that Perl is, or is becoming, difficult to use! From your linked search, the last mention of local::lib was February 2016 which was before my time...	[reply]

"From your linked search, the last mention of local::lib was February 2016 which was before my time..." I didn't link to a search. Read what I wrote. local::lib has been mentioned to you, super search if you need to find where.	[reply]

I must be missing something... local::lib is for a "Perl module library located within the user's home directory". I don't see how that helps to separate development, test and production versions of a module when they are all in the same user's home directory.	[reply]

A home directory can contain more than one directory, the documentation gives examples of how to use this and specify a path (DEV/SYT/UAT...) which would make sense if you wanted to test your things with various combinations of cpan modules. If it's just your things you're interested in you obviously don't need to do this, and just go for the `use lib` method.	[reply] [d/l]


No such thing as a small change
