Re: alternate install directory?

Thanks Abbot crenz,
Will I have to do anything in my Perl scripts
when I "use" modules installed this way?
For example I install URI.pm this way and when I
attempt to build libwww-perl like so ...

$ perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=/home/LameNerd
....
$ make
....
$ make test 
....
local/protosub........Can't locate URI.pm in @INC (@INC contains: ../b
+l
....
[download]

What should I do to correct the make test problem?
update I was able to get libwww-perl to install by doing this ...

$ PERL5LIB=/home/LameNerd/PERL_MODS_INSTALL:/home/LameNerd/PERL_MODS_I
+NSTALL/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0
$ export PERL5LIB
$ perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=/home/LameNerd
....
$ make
....
$ make test 
.... ok 100%!
$ make install
...

Add a `use lib '/home/LameNerd/';`to the test scripts above the `use URI.pm` or make sure @INC includes the path to the URI.pm. HTH 'Fect	[reply] [d/l] [select]
