Yesterday I wanted to install Config::General on a system at work. But the admins in their wisdom removed (or did not install) ExtUtils::MakeMaker. When I looked at MakeMaker's source I was a bit astonished to see use ExtUtils::MakeMaker in it, but nevertheless gave it a try and it worked.
So for future reference (of myself and others) here is what I did, after downloading the source and unpacking it in my home directory to get my modules up:
cd ExtUtils-MakeMaker-7.04/
perl Makefile.PL INSTALL_BASE=/opt/sw/perl
make
make install
cd ../Config-General-2.56
export PERL5LIB=/opt/sw/perl/lib/perl5/
perl Makefile.PL INSTALL_BASE=/opt/sw/perl
make
make install
perl -MConfig::General -e 42
The last step was to verify it worked.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
