[sf-perl] trouble installing Net::LDAP

[Francisco Obispo]

Module::Install uses  Module::Install::AutoInstall to install dependencies that it sees as missing. 

One thing you could do, is manually install each dependency into the INSTALL_BASE directory, and then execute perl with the -I option to include $INSTALL_BASE/lib/perl5 as part of @INC

Also, configure CPAN to pass INSTALL_BASE as part of Makefile.PL:

$ perl -MCPAN -e shell
Terminal does not support AddHistory.

cpan shell -- CPAN exploration and modules installation (v1.9402)
Enter 'h' for help.

cpan[1]> o conf makepl_arg INSTALL_BASE=/nas/reg
    makepl_arg         [INSTALL_BASE=/nas/reg]
Please use 'o conf commit' to make the config permanent!

Try that to see if it works.
