Dearest Monks,

Is there a simple way to have the CPAN shell install a module in a specific directory?

There are times when I want it to install in a directory other than what I specified as my perllib directory in CPAN's Config- for example, bundling the latest version of a CPAN module in a program I distribute.

setting:

o conf init makepl_arg /home/myaccount/test/lib

on the CPAN shell doesn't seem to do what I want.
