Issue
I am on a Linux machine where I have no root privileges. I want to install some packages through CPAN into my home directory so that when I run Perl, it will be able to see it.
I ran cpan
, which asked for some coniguration options. It asked for some directory, which it suggested ~/perl
"for non-root users". Still, when I try to install a package, it fails at the make install
step, because I don't have write access to /usr/lib/perl5/whatever
.
How can I configure CPAN so that I can install packages into my home directory?
Solution
See local::lib.
Once you have it installed, you can do:
perl -MCPAN -Mlocal::lib -e 'CPAN::install(LWP)'
