in reply to Personal library with CPAN

I believe if you do:

perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=/home/username

[download]

then 
make install

[download]
The package will be installed starting at /home/username rather than the standard location.

    PERL5LIB should be also adjusted: 
    env PERL5LIB=/home/username/lib/perl perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=/home/use
+rname

    [download]
    (not sure about the exact PERL5LIB value, might be something with perl5 instead).
