in reply to How to get site_perl directory

site_perl contains any modules you have installed yourself - you might not have one if you have not installed any. Do you have a specific issue that requires it?

Update: see also Perl module install sub-directories: perl5, site_perl, perl5/site_perl

    I have to copy a downloaded perl module which is related to IVR into this directory. But when I searched in machine it was not there. So how can I install that site_perl?

    Thanks

      Depends on what you mean by "downloaded."

      If that's "copied it whole from some other machine," the odds are against you:

      If it's a pure perl modules, you may have a shot, but even that's not guaranteed (because the module itself may have dependancies you don't have)

      See Yes, even you can use CPAN (by Tanktalus]) and holli's A guide to installing modules for Win32.

      mkdir '/usr/lib64/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/x86_64-linux-thread-multi', probably under root. However it is usually better to allow the make install install it there rather than to copy it. Why does it have to be in that particular directory?
