With App::perlbrew, you are completely independent of the system Perl, but still need the system administrators to install external libraries.

Thanks for your Prompt reply! Contacting OS administrator is one of what I try to avoid actually because the customers I face to maybe not administrator and they maybe not have right to install external libraries on system path. So I think using Alien::* to install external libraries on user directory would be a elegant way or the worse, just copy libraries and set LD_LIBRARY_PATH?





I am trying to improve my English skills, if you see a mistake please feel free to reply or /msg me a correction

    Yes, depending on your personal approach, you can either compile and install (and set up LD_LIBRARY_PATH) as the application user locally, or become a pretend-administrator in your Docker container and install all the libraries using the (Docker-OS-specific) vendor package tool.

    Personally, I prefer working with the machine administrators rather than around/against them, but depending on your situation, that may not be possible.
