Hello my esteemed code-friends,

I am in need of some modules my host staff says it would be better if I install them in a personal lib directory, like this: 


> 1. pick a location for your personally installed and created perl mo
+dules
> such as /home/username/perl
> 2. build a module tree such as
> /home/username/perl/
>     Greg/MyModule.pm
>     XML/RSS.pm
>     HTML/Template.pm
>     CGI/Session.pm
> then in your code add a new path to @INC using the line:
> use lib "/home/username/perl";

Isnīt this a dirty installation? I mean, just copying the .pm files to their tree? Here, at development, I always install modules through the PPM3 shell. Can I do that in this case too? How to specify to PPM3 that the specific target isnīt my host's central module repository?

Thanks a lot

André
