[sf-perl] local::lib

[Tatsuhiko Miyagawa]

Just so you know, cpanm supports local::lib natively - with the -l
option. It actually checks if you have a write permission to your
site_perl and otherwise fall back to your ~/perl5 as local::lib
directory by default. (You can override that with -l option, or run it
with --sudo to install modules using sudo)

  cpanm -l ~/perl5 DBI

will install DBI modules to your ~/perl5/lib/perl5 - and then you can
source the same local::lib output or can add
-Mlib=$HOME/perl5/lib/perl5 to your PERL5OPT, either way it just works.
