Re: Installing CPAN without root access

Hi,

the solution depends heavily on the question whether you want to stick to the system's perl installation or if you want a current Perl version too.

If you say: Hey, I start by own directory tree for modules why should I not also install a perl for my own, than have a look at http://perlbrew.pl/. (App::perlbrew)

If you say: No, please, I just want some modules on my own, than have a look at local::lib and for nice installation to App::cpanminus.

UPDATE: I forgot something. The local::lib thing is meanwhile integrated into the App::perlbrew. So you can think of the App::perlbrew way as a kind of superset.

I tried installing App::perlbrew but I keep getting error with the curl command they have provided on the website that curl couldn't connect to host. Thanks for your help though	[reply]

You probably have an HTTP proxy on your network. Set it in the http_proxy variable. Check the curl man page.	[reply]
