+=head1 NAME
+
+local::lib - create and use a local lib/ for perl modules with PERL5LIB
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+In code -
+
+ use local::lib; # sets up a local lib at ~/perl5
+
+ use local::lib '~/foo'; # same, but ~/foo
+
+ # Or...
+ use FindBin;
+ use local::lib "$FindBin::Bin/../support"; # app-local support library
+
+From the shell -
+
+ # Install LWP and its missing dependencies to the '~/perl5' directory
+ perl -MCPAN -Mlocal::lib -e 'CPAN::install(LWP)'
+
+ # Just print out useful shell commands
+ $ perl -Mlocal::lib
+ export PERL_MB_OPT='--install_base /home/username/perl5'
+ export PERL_MM_OPT='INSTALL_BASE=/home/username/perl5'
+ export PERL5LIB='/home/username/perl5/lib/perl5/i386-linux:/home/username/perl5/lib/perl5'
+ export PATH="/home/username/perl5/bin:$PATH"
+
+=head2 The bootstrapping technique
+
+A typical way to install local::lib is using what is known as the
+"bootstrapping" technique. You would do this if your system administrator
+hasn't already installed local::lib. In this case, you'll need to install
+local::lib in your home directory.
+
+If you do have administrative privileges, you will still want to set up your
+environment variables, as discussed in step 4. Without this, you would still
+install the modules into the system CPAN installation and also your Perl scripts
+will not use the lib/ path you bootstrapped with local::lib.
+
+By default local::lib installs itself and the CPAN modules into ~/perl5.
+
+Windows users must also see L</Differences when using this module under Win32>.
+
+1. Download and unpack the local::lib tarball from CPAN (search for "Download"
+on the CPAN page about local::lib). Do this as an ordinary user, not as root
+or administrator. Unpack the file in your home directory or in any other
+convenient location.
+
+2. Run this:
+
+ perl Makefile.PL --bootstrap
+
+If the system asks you whether it should automatically configure as much
+as possible, you would typically answer yes.
+
+In order to install local::lib into a directory other than the default, you need
+to specify the name of the directory when you call bootstrap, as follows:
+
+ perl Makefile.PL --bootstrap=~/foo
+
+3. Run this: (local::lib assumes you have make installed on your system)
+
+ make test && make install
+
+4. Now we need to setup the appropriate environment variables, so that Perl
+starts using our newly generated lib/ directory. If you are using bash or
+any other Bourne shells, you can add this to your shell startup script this
+way:
+
+ echo 'eval $(perl -I$HOME/perl5/lib/perl5 -Mlocal::lib)' >>~/.bashrc
+
+If you are using C shell, you can do this as follows:
+
+ /bin/csh
+ echo $SHELL
+ /bin/csh
+ perl -I$HOME/perl5/lib/perl5 -Mlocal::lib >> ~/.cshrc
+
+If you passed to bootstrap a directory other than default, you also need to give that as
+import parameter to the call of the local::lib module like this way:
+
+ echo 'eval $(perl -I$HOME/foo/lib/perl5 -Mlocal::lib=$HOME/foo)' >>~/.bashrc
+
+After writing your shell configuration file, be sure to re-read it to get the
+changed settings into your current shell's environment. Bourne shells use
+C<. ~/.bashrc> for this, whereas C shells use C<source ~/.cshrc>.
+
+If you're on a slower machine, or are operating under draconian disk space
+limitations, you can disable the automatic generation of manpages from POD when
+installing modules by using the C<--no-manpages> argument when bootstrapping:
+
+ perl Makefile.PL --bootstrap --no-manpages
+
+To avoid doing several bootstrap for several Perl module environments on the
+same account, for example if you use it for several different deployed
+applications independently, you can use one bootstrapped local::lib
+installation to install modules in different directories directly this way:
+
+ cd ~/mydir1
+ perl -Mlocal::lib=./
+ eval $(perl -Mlocal::lib=./) ### To set the environment for this shell alone
+ printenv ### You will see that ~/mydir1 is in the PERL5LIB
+ perl -MCPAN -e install ... ### whatever modules you want
+ cd ../mydir2
+ ... REPEAT ...
+
+For multiple environments for multiple apps you may need to include a modified
+version of the C<< use FindBin >> instructions in the "In code" sample above.
+If you did something like the above, you have a set of Perl modules at C<<
+~/mydir1/lib >>. If you have a script at C<< ~/mydir1/scripts/myscript.pl >>,
+you need to tell it where to find the modules you installed for it at C<<
+~/mydir1/lib >>.
+
+In C<< ~/mydir1/scripts/myscript.pl >>:
+
+ use strict;
+ use warnings;
+ use local::lib "$FindBin::Bin/.."; ### points to ~/mydir1 and local::lib finds lib
+ use lib "$FindBin::Bin/../lib"; ### points to ~/mydir1/lib
+
+Put this before any BEGIN { ... } blocks that require the modules you installed.
+
+=head2 Differences when using this module under Win32
+
+To set up the proper environment variables for your current session of
+C<CMD.exe>, you can use this:
+
+ C:\>perl -Mlocal::lib
+ set PERL_MB_OPT=--install_base C:\DOCUME~1\ADMINI~1\perl5
+ set PERL_MM_OPT=INSTALL_BASE=C:\DOCUME~1\ADMINI~1\perl5
+ set PERL5LIB=C:\DOCUME~1\ADMINI~1\perl5\lib\perl5;C:\DOCUME~1\ADMINI~1\perl5\lib\perl5\MSWin32-x86-multi-thread
+ set PATH=C:\DOCUME~1\ADMINI~1\perl5\bin;%PATH%
+
+ ### To set the environment for this shell alone
+ C:\>perl -Mlocal::lib > %TEMP%\tmp.bat && %TEMP%\tmp.bat && del %TEMP%\temp.bat
+ ### instead of $(perl -Mlocal::lib=./)
+
+If you want the environment entries to persist, you'll need to add then to the
+Control Panel's System applet yourself or use L<App::local::lib::Win32Helper>.
+
+The "~" is translated to the user's profile directory (the directory named for
+the user under "Documents and Settings" (Windows XP or earlier) or "Users"
+(Windows Vista or later)) unless $ENV{HOME} exists. After that, the home
+directory is translated to a short name (which means the directory must exist)
+and the subdirectories are created.
+
+=head1 RATIONALE
+
+The version of a Perl package on your machine is not always the version you
+need. Obviously, the best thing to do would be to update to the version you
+need. However, you might be in a situation where you're prevented from doing
+this. Perhaps you don't have system administrator privileges; or perhaps you
+are using a package management system such as Debian, and nobody has yet gotten
+around to packaging up the version you need.
+
+local::lib solves this problem by allowing you to create your own directory of
+Perl packages downloaded from CPAN (in a multi-user system, this would typically
+be within your own home directory). The existing system Perl installation is
+not affected; you simply invoke Perl with special options so that Perl uses the
+packages in your own local package directory rather than the system packages.
+local::lib arranges things so that your locally installed version of the Perl
+packages takes precedence over the system installation.
+
+If you are using a package management system (such as Debian), you don't need to
+worry about Debian and CPAN stepping on each other's toes. Your local version
+of the packages will be written to an entirely separate directory from those
+installed by Debian.
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+This module provides a quick, convenient way of bootstrapping a user-local Perl
+module library located within the user's home directory. It also constructs and
+prints out for the user the list of environment variables using the syntax
+appropriate for the user's current shell (as specified by the C<SHELL>
+environment variable), suitable for directly adding to one's shell
+configuration file.
+
+More generally, local::lib allows for the bootstrapping and usage of a
+directory containing Perl modules outside of Perl's C<@INC>. This makes it
+easier to ship an application with an app-specific copy of a Perl module, or
+collection of modules. Useful in cases like when an upstream maintainer hasn't
+applied a patch to a module of theirs that you need for your application.
+
+On import, local::lib sets the following environment variables to appropriate
+values:
+
+=over 4
+
+=item PERL_MB_OPT
+
+=item PERL_MM_OPT
+
+=item PERL5LIB
+
+=item PATH
+
+PATH is appended to, rather than clobbered.
+
+=back
+
+These values are then available for reference by any code after import.
+
+=head1 CREATING A SELF-CONTAINED SET OF MODULES
+
+See L<lib::core::only> for one way to do this - but note that
+there are a number of caveats, and the best approach is always to perform a
+build against a clean perl (i.e. site and vendor as close to empty as possible).

+
+=head1 A WARNING ABOUT UNINST=1
+
+Be careful about using local::lib in combination with "make install UNINST=1".
+The idea of this feature is that will uninstall an old version of a module
+before installing a new one. However it lacks a safety check that the old
+version and the new version will go in the same directory. Used in combination
+with local::lib, you can potentially delete a globally accessible version of a
+module while installing the new version in a local place. Only combine "make
+install UNINST=1" and local::lib if you understand these possible consequences.
+
+=head1 LIMITATIONS
+
+The perl toolchain is unable to handle directory names with spaces in it,
+so you cant put your local::lib bootstrap into a directory with spaces. What
+you can do is moving your local::lib to a directory with spaces B<after> you
+installed all modules inside your local::lib bootstrap. But be aware that you
+cant update or install CPAN modules after the move.
+
+Rather basic shell detection. Right now anything with csh in its name is
+assumed to be a C shell or something compatible, and everything else is assumed
+to be Bourne, except on Win32 systems. If the C<SHELL> environment variable is
+not set, a Bourne-compatible shell is assumed.

+Bootstrap is a hack and will use CPAN.pm for ExtUtils::MakeMaker even if you
+have CPANPLUS installed.
+
+Kills any existing PERL5LIB, PERL_MM_OPT or PERL_MB_OPT.
+
+Should probably auto-fixup CPAN config if not already done.
+
+Patches very much welcome for any of the above.
+
+On Win32 systems, does not have a way to write the created environment variables
+to the registry, so that they can persist through a reboot.
+
+=head1 TROUBLESHOOTING
+
+If you've configured local::lib to install CPAN modules somewhere in to your
+home directory, and at some point later you try to install a module with C<cpan
+-i Foo::Bar>, but it fails with an error like: C<Warning: You do not have
+permissions to install into /usr/lib64/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/x86_64-linux at
+/usr/lib64/perl5/5.8.8/Foo/Bar.pm> and buried within the install log is an
+error saying C<'INSTALL_BASE' is not a known MakeMaker parameter name>, then
+you've somehow lost your updated ExtUtils::MakeMaker module.
+
+To remedy this situation, rerun the bootstrapping procedure documented above.
+
+Then, run C<rm -r ~/.cpan/build/Foo-Bar*>
+
+Finally, re-run C<cpan -i Foo::Bar> and it should install without problems.
+
+=head1 ENVIRONMENT
+
+=over 4
+
+=item SHELL
+
+=item COMSPEC
+
+local::lib looks at the user's C<SHELL> environment variable when printing out
+commands to add to the shell configuration file.
+
+On Win32 systems, C<COMSPEC> is also examined.
