Here is what I'm trying to do. I want to install a new perl module. But I can't install it to the default perl library locations since 1) I don't have access and 2) To get access I have to show that it is safe and that it will be used.

Ok, so I need to install the perl module in my home directory in a development subdirectory. The module is the DBI moduel for talking to databases. It has pretty easy build instruction:

perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install

So, does anyone know how to set all this up so that it will install the finished perl module into a specified subdirectory instead of the default location? I really don't have much experience with GNU make beyond just letting it use the defaults. Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated.

I don't know how to do it (I've been root on all the systems I've had to install modules to - so far), but you'll probably find a lot of info in install/readme files, as well as the Makefile.PL.

Good luck!

i believe

make --help

will give you a listing of things to append to change settings like the directory.. or is that ./configure --help ... ? not sure. give it a try.
