This module provides a quick, convenient way of bootstrapping a user-local
|
|
Perl module library located within the user's home directory. It also
|
|
constructs and prints out for the user the list of environment variables
|
|
using the syntax appropriate for the user's current shell (as specified by
|
|
the "SHELL" environment variable), suitable for directly adding to one's
|
|
shell configuration file. More generally, local::lib allows for the
|
|
bootstrapping and usage of a directory containing Perl modules outside of
|
|
Perl's @INC. This makes it easier to ship an application with an
|
|
app-specific copy of a Perl module, or collection of modules. Useful in
|
|
cases like when an upstream maintainer hasn't applied a patch to a module
|
|
of theirs that you need for your application. On import, local::lib sets
|
|
the following environment variables to appropriate values: PERL_MB_OPT
|
|
PERL_MM_OPT PERL5LIB PATH PERL_LOCAL_LIB_ROOT When possible, these will be
|
|
appended to instead of overwritten entirely. These values are then
|
|
available for reference by any code after import.
