Where does it install the (built) module?
Thank you,

The build_dir doesn't mean a lot in this case, assuming you are asking
what I think you are asking. Instead you want to specify an install
location in the makepl_arg and or mbuildpl_arg settings. For instance,
makepl_arg = LIB=~/local/lib PREFIX=~/local/lib
mbuildpl_arg = --install_base /home/user/local/lib
Check perldoc CPAN for information about 'o conf'. HTH,

Thanks Wiggins.
I attempted to use o conf <scalar option> <value>, but did not seem to
have success. In particular, I was unsure of how to use:
o conf <list option> [unshift|push|splice] <list>
It seems I'd need to use this since I had LIB and PREFIX. Could someone
provide an example?
So, I used o conf init and I have the following in my MyConfig.pm:
'make_arg' => q[LIB=~/local/lib PREFIX=~/local/lib],
'make_install_arg' => q[--install_base /home/kviel/local/lib],
'makepl_arg' => q[LIB=~/local/lib PREFIX=~/local/lib],
but still obtain an apparent failure:
