in thread Installing Modules Without Root

OK, one more piece of information as I continue doing what you said.

I actually need to install the perl modules on a common data share (huge hard disk) connected to a network of computers. I can only access the hard disk share after logging into one of the computers (obviously) but the deal is that all the computers have very little disk space by themselves - so any processing/build/install that the cpan/make file does, have to be using the space on the share. Hence I use --bootstrap=/my_dir (where my_dir is a directory on a share).

So far though I am not seeing any error that says that it is because of insufficient disk space, but I know that this is possible based on my experience with installing other software.

Anyway, back to work !

Many thanks again for your help !

    Oh, and just to make things more interesting, my system does not have "rehash".

    Yawn.. Very tired and sleepy. Will sign back on in a few hours. What a sad end to the day !!

      "rehash" command is shell dependent. Some shells, e.g. t?csh, zsh 4 & possibly ksh93, require rehash to be run so that commands installed in $PATH after starting the current shell could be found & run. Some shells have options which would obviate the need to run rehash; bash might be an example (confirm yourself).
