BEGIN PASTE

The first step was learning how to install modules without root. Though I generally have root authority on my boxes, I found it informative and it actually has become the basis for some of my other work. The key has been to set PERL5LIB to include the path you're using to install to, e.g., $ENV{PERL5LIB} = "$ENV{HOME}/lib/perl5:$ENV{HOME}/lib" (I think some of the modules install differently when it's ~/lib instead of, say, ~/myperllib, so I found I had to add both) and then pass in the correct parameters to the .PL script the module comes with, e.g.: $^X -I$ENV{HOME}/lib Build.PL --install_base $ENV{HOME}/lib or $^X -I$ENV{HOME}/lib Makefile.PL LIB=$ENV{HOME}/lib PREFIX=$ENV{HOME}. The -I flag may be optional - but I like being explicit. Once you have everything extracted and then the Makefile or Build files created, go ahead as normal, as if you had root. You just need to ensure PERL5LIB stays set, or that your scripts do a use lib ... properly before trying to use or require anything installed privately like this.

END PASTE

Does not work for me. I got the below error when running $ENV{PERL5LIB} = "$ENV{HOME}/lib/perl5:$ENV{HOME}/lib".

/home/swissknife/ .kshrc{PERL5LIB}: not found

also i think it will give error when i execute further $^X -I$ENV{HOME}/lib Build.PL --install_base $ENV{HOME}/lib. is ^X is valid here?
