local-lib (1.004003)

local::lib is a thing of beauty and an essential tool for anybody who needs to manage distinct sets of modules across projects, nodes, architectures.

Very good module. Convenient, has very few dependencies and gets the job done. If you're looking to install CPAN modules under a prefix, under say your own home directory, look no further than local::lib. I have done my own custom and ad-hoc CPAN.pm/CPANPLUS.pm hackery and found local::lib to be much more convenient and straightforward.

Highly recommended.

This makes the tedious and spastic job of setting up local libraries a snap and a consistent one. It is fantastic. Saves me at least a couple hours every time I setup new code on a non-root box.

local::lib makes having your own stash of perl modules in your home directory so much easier. I can now easily use CPAN to install stuff into my home directory on a machine to which I don't have root access. I've been using perl for eons, and this common desire has long been a difficult thing to do. Now, I believe that all the documentation that answers the question "How can install perl modules from CPAN on a machine without root access?" should be changed to reference local::lib.
