where to store pre puberty modules on a box

leocharre has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

We have these diff apps and libraries, etc, modules, inhouse. I was thinking we should have a default place where we put some resources, like /devel/lib or .. what is an appropriate place? These are not full blown cpan worthy modules, just devel stuff..

what would be a truly appropriate place, that adheres to the community's standards? Suggestions ?

Give them a default Makefile.PL and let them install themselves into the normal place. Just because you never send it to CPAN doesn't mean you should remove the installer! ⠤⠤ ⠙⠊⠕⠞⠁⠇⠑⠧⠊	[reply]

I don't know that there is a "community standard". However, I've seen many advocate naming "local" modules under the `Local::` namespace and thus installing them in the "Local/" subdirectory of the perl site library directory. Another alternative is to name them after a company or author. You can also put them outside the standard perl library directories and just set the `PERL5LIB` environment variable. -xdg Code written by xdg and posted on PerlMonks is public domain.
