Re: self containing folder of modules

[moritz]

local::lib does what you want, and the processes of point perl towards the module directory consists of setting the PERL5LIB environment variable (and PATH if the distributions also install scripts), as shown in the SYNOPSIS. The same can be achieved with the -I command line argument.

The other environment variables are only needed for installing the modules/distributions into the right directory, and not necessary for just using the modules.

If you describe where you got stuck, it would be easier to help you.

There are other alternatives, like PAR::Packer and other packers, like cava.

these are the modules i want to use

they may have circular dependencies , so i want to create a folder with all these modules installed , so just make perl pick libraries from that folder. now as there might be dependencies , if i install a module into local folder, the other module might still show dependency error??

[Corion]

For quick and easy module installation, also see the -L option to cpanm.

[micceo]

got the local:: lib module installed . i created a dir called mylib in home/ravi

now i need to add this line to .bashrc

eval $(perl -I$HOME/mylib/lib/perl5 -Mlocal::lib)

however the installation of modules is happening in /home/ravi/perl5

[micceo]

yes , i had mentioned perl Makefile.PL --bootstrap=~/mylib

[moritz]

So, what did you try? Where did you get stuck? is the local::lib documentation unclear somewhere?

Update: I also find the simultaneous use of utf8 and bytes questionable.
