I understand vaguely supporting PREFIX has become hairy. What I don't understand is, what are the best practices to deal with the situation.
<p>
Is [tinita]'s suggestion of using LIB and PREFIX together a best practice for installing modules locally?
<p>
Will this ever fail?
<p>
If yes, when will if fail?
<p>
If no (ie, it shouldn't ever fail), shouldn't the documentation for installing perl modules locally be patched to mention this?
<p>
More concretely: if there's a scenario like the one you
mentioned, where LIB is calculated from PREFIX, but the PREFIX value was also specified to Makefile.PL, which value will ultimately wind up being used?
