Re: Stale FAQ on how to install modules in different dir?

The Perlmonk FAQ answer is old, or something. See the relevant Perl FAQ.
(You really need to set LIB too and not only PREFIX. Sorry for asking this here.)

The answer is correct.

The answer is correct. Well, yes, in fact it is. But some more info would have been benefical. Without the "LIB=X", the .pm files are installed a couple of dir levels below the PREFIX, which means that you can't just add the "PREFIX" dir to your @INC. (I didn't test that "use lib '/u/mydir/perl';", so I assume what you are saying is that it works?) I assume that is a good way of doing it, but it's not what I wanted for my own written modules.
