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 ... - -If you are working with several C<local::lib> environments, you may want to -remove some of them from the current environment without disturbing the others. -You can deactivate one environment like this (using bourne sh): - - eval $(perl -Mlocal::lib=--deactivate,~/path) - -which will generate and run the commands needed to remove C<~/path> from your -various search paths. Whichever environment was B<activated most recently> will -remain the target for module installations. That is, if you activate -C<~/path_A> and then you activate C<~/path_B>, new modules you install will go -in C<~/path_B>. If you deactivate C<~/path_B> then modules will be installed -into C<~/pathA> -- but if you deactivate C<~/path_A> then they will still be -installed in C<~/pathB> because pathB was activated later. - -You can also ask C<local::lib> to clean itself completely out of the current -shell's environment with the C<--deactivate-all> option. -For multiple environments for multiple apps you may need to include a modified -version of the C<< use FindBin >> instructions in the "In code" sample above. -If you did something like the above, you have a set of Perl modules at C<< -~/mydir1/lib >>. If you have a script at C<< ~/mydir1/scripts/myscript.pl >>, -you need to tell it where to find the modules you installed for it at C<< -~/mydir1/lib >>. - -In C<< ~/mydir1/scripts/myscript.pl >>: - - use strict; - use warnings; - use local::lib "$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 OPTIONS - -Options are values that can be passed to the C<local::lib> import besides the -directory to use. They are specified as C<use local::lib '--option'[, path];> -or C<perl -Mlocal::lib=--option[,path]>. - -=head2 --deactivate - -Remove the chosen path (or the default path) from the module search paths if it -was added by C<local::lib>, instead of adding it. - -=head2 --deactivate-all - -Remove all directories that were added to search paths by C<local::lib> from the -search paths. - -=head1 METHODS - -=head2 ensure_dir_structure_for - -=over 4 - -=item Arguments: $path - -=item Return value: None - -=back - -Attempts to create the given path, and all required parent directories.

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. - -=back - -=head1 SUPPORT - -IRC: - - Join #local-lib on irc.perl.org. - -=head1 AUTHOR - -Matt S Trout <mst@shadowcat.co.uk> http://www.shadowcat.co.uk/ - -auto_install fixes kindly sponsored by http://www.takkle.com/ - -=head1 CONTRIBUTORS - -Patches to correctly output commands for csh style shells, as well as some -documentation additions, contributed by Christopher Nehren <apeiron@cpan.org>. - -Doc patches for a custom local::lib directory, more cleanups in the english -documentation and a L<german documentation|POD2::DE::local::lib> contributed by Torsten Raudssus -<torsten@raudssus.de>. - -Hans Dieter Pearcey <hdp@cpan.org> sent in some additional tests for ensuring -things will install properly, submitted a fix for the bug causing problems with -writing Makefiles during bootstrapping, contributed an example program, and -submitted yet another fix to ensure that local::lib can install and bootstrap -properly.
