Re 2: Installing Modules on a Web Server

Finally, if you are installing multiple modules that are dependent on each other you might want to do:
perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=~/tmp-lib LIB=~/tmp-lib
[download]
This will allow the module you are installing to find the other modules in ~/tmp-lib and run in a sensible way.

Actually, this didn't work for me. The modules couldn't find each other in this custom lib. I was trying to install CGI::Application which looks for HTML::Template. Neither of these were installed on my server. So I installed HTML::Template to my private lib. Then when I tried to install CGI::Application it couldn't see HTML::Template.

Actually, this didn't work for me. Can you show what you typed in and what errors you got? AFAIK the `PREFIX` and `LIB` technique should work.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
