Re: CPAN: quick help with user-space install needed

I don't know which magicl knob you have to turn to make it work - it never worked for me when I tried it on my own.

But luckily local::lib can do the magical knob turning for you - with it local modulation installation has always worked for me.

Perl 6 - links to (nearly) everything that is Perl 6.

As I see it "local::lib" is what you use when you run a script relying on modules in another location. My problem arises while installing a module in a path differing from the standard locations. (The error here is that CPAN is trying to write a part of the module's files into the standard path, a path I have no rights to write to...)	[reply]

local::lib does influence the installing process of modules (hey, even the synopsis shows its usage together with CPAN.pm!). And as I said before, it worked for me (both for the installing and using modules).	[reply]

You are right with local::lib + CPAN - sorry for that! But: I was close with my "configure cpan with PREFIXes" approach, but as it turned out, getting local::lib to run is a different beast - at least for me - I wasn't able to do it after 20mins... Anyone advice to my original question? (..while I continue trying to get local::lib to install locally..)	[reply]
