Re 2: Installing Modules on a Web Server

[Anonymous Monk]

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

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.

Can you show what you typed in and what errors you got? AFAIK the PREFIX and LIB technique should work.
