Re: Error during manual local module install

I believe you haven't set your PERL5LIB variable correctly. Assuming your home directory is /home/me, you'll need to set your PERL5LIB environment variable to /home/me/perl_mods/lib/site_perl/5.8.4. You may also have to include the architecture-specific directory, even though the perlrun man page says it searches them automatically. If so, set the variable to /home/me/perl_mods/lib/site_perl/5.8.4:/home/me/perl_mods/lib/site_perl/5.8.4/sun4-solaris-64int.

Try that and see if it works.

After you set it, you can run perl -V and see if it's picked up the change. Look in the @INC: section to see if it shows your new directory.

That did it, i'm still a bit confused as to the level and where/why modules end up in either ~perl_mods/lib/site_perl/ or ~perl_mods/lib/site_perl/5.8.4/sun4-solaris-64int or ~perl_mods/lib/sun4-solaris-64int How is it determine WHERE a module lives?	[reply]

It really doesn't matter. If you use PREFIX=~perlmods , then you have PERL5LIB=~perlmods you might have to expand the ~ yourself, but that is all you have to do. Perl takes care of the rest.	[reply]
