APM: Question about installing perl without root

[Wayne Walker]

ncftpget ....perl-5.8.0.tar.gz
tar xfz perl-5.8.0.tar.gz
cd perl-5.8.0
# Though perl threads are safe now, too many modules are not thread safe
# yet.  build a special version of perl for threaded applications to use
# if you must have threads.
./Configure -Dprefix=/home/evan/perl-5.8.0 -Dusethreads=undef -d

make
make test
make install

in your scripts:

#!/home/evan/perl-5.8.0/bin/perl

When you install things via CPAN module, they install into the tree of
the perl that invoked CPAN.

/home/evan/perl-5.8.0/bin/perl -MCPAN -e shell
