Our entire Perl installation lives on the network under
Z:\linuxaux\opt\perl. So in theory you just need to get the modules
installed under there.
Actually arranging for this to happen might be tricky; I haven't
really thought about it until now...
OK, the easiest thing is to use another Linux box which is already
running Perl 5.8.3. (Compile it if you have to, or copy the
.../linuxaux/opt/perl tree to /opt/perl, or whatever.) Then you can
build and install the DBI module like this:
cd DBI-1.42
perl Makefile.PL DESTDIR=/path/to/install/linuxaux/ PREFIX=/opt/perl
make
make install
(Note the trailing slash on DESTDIR.)
If you are running Perl 5.8.1 or 5.8.2, then the second line gets more
complicated:
perl Makefile.PL DESTDIR=/path/to/install/linuxaux/ PREFIX=/opt/perl
INSTALLSITELIB=/opt/perl/lib/site_perl/5.8.3
And if you are running 5.8.0 or earlier (before MakeMaker supported
DESTDIR), it gets more complicated still:
perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=/path/to/install/linuxaux/opt/perl
INSTALLSITELIB=/path/to/install/linuxaux/opt/perl/lib/site_perl/5.8.3
The same approach should work for any Perl module. And you might even
be able to use the CPAN module by setting its makepl_arg option...
In theory.
