jerrygarciuh has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

The title says it all. I have the prerequiste module installed locally but when I do the make test; for the dependant module the prereq is not found presumably because it too is installed locally. Can anyone advise me as to how to tell makefile where the prereq is installed?
TIA

    Do you just need to have the path to the local module in your PERL5LIB environment variable? Or you can specify the other path when running the Makefile.PL. According to perldoc ExtUtils::MakeMaker (the thing that Makefile.PLs use to produce the makefiles): 
      perl Makefile.PL LIB=/path/to/lib_directory/
