This may be a CPAN or MakeMaker question -- please point me to a
different list if so.
I just when through the exercise of installing Catalyst on a clean
Debian Stable machine into a local Perl library. (Testing what
non-root user would need to do). I first updated ExtUtils::MakeMaker
to the current version.
The only problem was Template Toolkit installation (which has the .xs
stash) tried to get installed here:
ERROR: Can't create '/usr/local/lib/perl/5.8.4'
Do not have write permissions on '/usr/local/lib/perl/5.8.4'
My setup is this in .bashrc:
export PATH=$LOCAL_LIB/bin:$LOCAL_LIB/script:$PATH
perlversion=`perl -v | grep 'built for' | awk '{print $4}' | sed -e
's/v//;'`
PERL5LIB=$LOCAL_LIB/share/perl/$perlversion:$PERL5LIB
PERL5LIB=$LOCAL_LIB/lib/perl/$perlversion:$PERL5LIB
PERL5LIB=$LOCAL_LIB/lib:$PERL5LIB
PERL5LIB=$LOCAL_LIB/lib/perl5:$PERL5LIB
export PERL5LIB
And then customize .cpan/CPAN/MyConfig.pm with:
'make_install_arg' => qq[SITEPREFIX=$ENV{LOCAL_LIB}],
'makepl_arg' => qq[INSTALLDIRS=site install_base=$ENV{LOCAL_LIB}],
So, does this need to be resolved with TT's Makefile.PL? Or would I
need an additional config setting in MyConfig.pm? Or something else?
$CPAN::Config = {
'auto_commit' => q[0],
'build_cache' => q[100],
'build_dir' => q[/home/moseley/.cpan/build],
'cache_metadata' => q[1],
