    Since you're on a *nix system, you can also bypass another installation by doing the following:

    cd /path/to/perl/modules for i in `ls -1` do ln -s `pwd`/$i /path/you/want/sym-link/created/$i done
    This will create sym-links for all the files in the module directory (or whever you want them created)
    that you originally wanted them made.

    The only reason I do the 'ln -s' route is because you then don't have to recompile/delete/etc.
