Local install of PERL modules

[scjacl]

Greetings,

Trying to install some PERL Modules locally per the instructions found here:

http://www.perlmonks.org/?node=128077#permission

However, when I run this command:

perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=~/lib LIB=~/lib

I get this error:

Can't locate object method "catfile" via package "File::Spec" (perhaps you forgot to load "File::Spec"?) at Makefile.PL line 152.

I use quite a few modules and really would like to be able to install them locally. Any clues on how to proceed?

Are you trying to do this on our local shell server ( shell.sonic.net ) or some other host?

Either way, make sure you can load the File::Spec module it is complaining about:

perl -MFile::Spec -e 'print "hello\n"'

Should print "hello" and not complain.

I changed the command to:

perl -MFile::Spec Makefile.PL PREFIX=~/lib LIB=~/lib

and it looks like it will be working.

Thanks.
