in reply to Storing Modules Local

Yeah, that's an intractable problem. The binaries contain a path that gets compiled in during the build. There's an ongoing "to do" in the Perl developer list to figure out ways around this.

Hmm. You might get some relief if you set LD_LIBRARY_PATH, but I'm just drawing at straws now.

    Ug! Well is there anything a lowly scribe could do to push this 'todo' along, Or is that beyond the scope of a 2 year old perl hack?

      It probably won't get any attention except in the context of the Perl6 development, and if I recall, that was already one of the Perl6 RFCs being considered for implementation.

      So, in a few years when Perl6 is released, you'll have a solution. Until then, it's use fixed pathnames, or recompile from source.
