change cpan install directory
10,176
The destination to which CPAN installs modules can be changed by setting its options (run o conf
in the CPAN shell):
makepl_arg [INSTALL_BASE=/home/gokcehan/.perl5]
mbuildpl_arg [--install_base=/home/gokcehan/.perl5]
To let CPAN and Perl search for modules in the given path, set the environment variable PERL5LIB:
PERL5LIB=/home/gokcehan/.perl5:/home/gokcehan/.perl5/$arch
where $arch is the output of
use Config;
print Config->{archname};

I have tried to setup
cpan
on myubuntu 12.04
using:sudo cpan
and it created a folder
perl5
in my$HOME
folder. I would like to use a different directory such as$HOME/.perl5
or somewhere in/usr/local/lib
for the modules. Is it possible? -
