[sf-perl] trouble installing Net::LDAP

[David Alban]

greetings,

trying to install Net::LDAP from perl-ldap-0.4001.  "perl Makefile.PL"
invokes cpan.  i want the module installed in /nas/reg/, not in /usr.
i have:

$ grep reg ~/.cpan/CPAN/MyConfig.pm
  'mbuildpl_arg' => q[--install_base /nas/reg],
  'makepl_arg' => q[PREFIX=/nas/reg],

yet:

$ perl Makefile.PL
*** Module::AutoInstall version 1.03
*** Checking for Perl dependencies...
[Core Features]
- Convert::ASN1    ...missing. (would need 0.07)
==> Auto-install the 1 mandatory module(s) from CPAN? [y]
[SASL authentication]
- Authen::SASL     ...missing. (would need 2.00)
==> Auto-install the 1 optional module(s) from CPAN? [n] y
[LDAP URLs]
- URI::ldap        ...missing. (would need 1.1)
==> Auto-install the 1 optional module(s) from CPAN? [n] y

*** Dependencies will be installed the next time you type 'make'.
    (You may need to do that as the 'root' user.)
*** Module::AutoInstall configuration finished.
*** Installing dependencies...
*** You are not allowed to write to the directory
'/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8';
    the installation may fail due to insufficient permissions.

==> Should we try to re-execute the autoinstall process with 'sudo'? [y]

looks like it's trying to install to the system location.  i don't
want to do that.  how do i get it to deploy where i want it to deploy?

i've never experienced "perl Makefile.PL" invoking cpan. not a fan of
it so far...

thanks,
david
