OK, Mat.  Right above "How to use Private" was "How to install Private"

http://www.cpan.org/misc/cpan-faq.html#How_install_private

Once again, I should have RTM.  Thanks, Bob.

Thanks, Mat.  I kind of figured that's how I could use it once it was
installed.  However, the real issue I'm having is trying to figure out
how to tell the makefile where to install it.  The generic command is
"make install".  And Ilve been through the Makefile several times and
haven't figured out what params I need to pass in order for it to
install it someplace that I have permissions to.

Hi Bob:


http://www.cpan.org/misc/cpan-faq.html#How_use_private

There are several ways to use modules installed in private directories:

setenv PERL5LIB /path/to/module
		sets the environment variable PERL5LIB.

use lib qw(/path/to/module);
	used at the top of your script tells perl where to find your
module.

perl -I/path/to/module

All of these will append /path/to/module to @INC.

Mat
