Re^3: Installing binary-dependant module on shared hosting (Time::Piece)

[dana]

Exactly.

You can use CPAN, writing to a directory of your choice to which you have access, then reference that directory in a 'use lib' statement.

[isync]

OK then, I made all the modifications to cpan and could install various modules to my private /lib path.

But then: problems with Time::Piece again... The snippet from cpan:

  CPAN.pm: Going to build M/MS/MSERGEANT/Time-Piece-1.11.tar.gz

I used this command to alter my cpan conf:

o conf makepl_arg "LIB=/myhome/myperl/lib \
INSTALLMAN1DIR=/myhome/myperl/man/man1 \
INSTALLMAN3DIR=/myhome/myperl/man/man3"


Did I miss to define the path for binaries, as it seems from what cpan spit out??
