27 | WHOA THERE! It looks like you've got some fancy dashes in your commandline! |
28 | These are *not* the traditional -- dashes that software recognizes. You |
29 | probably got these by copy-pasting from the perldoc for this module as |
30 | rendered by a UTF8-capable formatter. This most typically happens on an OS X |
31 | terminal, but can happen elsewhere too. Please try again after replacing the |
32 | dashes with normal minus signs. |

37 | FATAL: The local::lib --self-contained flag has never worked reliably and the |
38 | original author, Mark Stosberg, was unable or unwilling to maintain it. As |
39 | such, this flag has been removed from the local::lib codebase in order to |
40 | prevent misunderstandings and potentially broken builds. The local::lib authors |
41 | recommend that you look at the lib::core::only module shipped with this |
42 | distribution in order to create a more robust environment that is equivalent to |
43 | what --self-contained provided (although quite possibly not what you originally |
44 | thought it provided due to the poor quality of the documentation, for which we |
45 | apologise). |

603 | =head2 The bootstrapping technique |
bc30e1d5 |
604 | |
730f5dda |
605 | A typical way to install local::lib is using what is known as the |
606 | "bootstrapping" technique. You would do this if your system administrator |
607 | hasn't already installed local::lib. In this case, you'll need to install |
8522f4d5 |
608 | local::lib in your home directory. |
898f36cf |
609 | |
0ad9f83d |
610 | Even if you do have administrative privileges, you will still want to set up your |
898f36cf |
611 | environment variables, as discussed in step 4. Without this, you would still |
612 | install the modules into the system CPAN installation and also your Perl scripts |
613 | will not use the lib/ path you bootstrapped with local::lib. |
614 | |
04f8efde |
615 | By default local::lib installs itself and the CPAN modules into ~/perl5. |
616 | |
898f36cf |
617 | Windows users must also see L</Differences when using this module under Win32>. |
715c31a0 |
618 | |
cab8f91f |
619 | =over 4 |
620 | |
621 | =item 1. |
622 | |
623 | Download and unpack the local::lib tarball from CPAN (search for "Download" |
730f5dda |
624 | on the CPAN page about local::lib). Do this as an ordinary user, not as root |
625 | or administrator. Unpack the file in your home directory or in any other |
626 | convenient location. |
715c31a0 |
627 | |
cab8f91f |
628 | =item 2. |
629 | |
630 | Run this: |
715c31a0 |
631 | |
730f5dda |
632 | perl Makefile.PL --bootstrap |
715c31a0 |
633 | |
730f5dda |
634 | If the system asks you whether it should automatically configure as much |
635 | as possible, you would typically answer yes. |
636 | |
04f8efde |
637 | In order to install local::lib into a directory other than the default, you need |
638 | to specify the name of the directory when you call bootstrap, as follows: |
898f36cf |
639 | |
640 | perl Makefile.PL --bootstrap=~/foo |
641 | |
cab8f91f |
642 | =item 3. |
643 | |
644 | Run this: (local::lib assumes you have make installed on your system) |
730f5dda |
645 | |
646 | make test && make install |
647 | |
cab8f91f |
648 | =item 4. |
649 | |
650 | Now we need to setup the appropriate environment variables, so that Perl |
898f36cf |
651 | starts using our newly generated lib/ directory. If you are using bash or |
652 | any other Bourne shells, you can add this to your shell startup script this |
653 | way: |
730f5dda |
654 | |
a19f7fe9 |
655 | echo '[ $SHLVL -eq 1 ] && eval "$(perl -I$HOME/perl5/lib/perl5 -Mlocal::lib)"' >>~/.bashrc |
730f5dda |
656 | |
657 | If you are using C shell, you can do this as follows: |
658 | |
659 | /bin/csh |
660 | echo $SHELL |
618272fe |
661 | /bin/csh |
d8666a05 |
662 | echo 'eval `perl -I$HOME/perl5/lib/perl5 -Mlocal::lib`' >> ~/.cshrc |
dc8ddd06 |
663 | |
0d6470a5 |
664 | If you passed to bootstrap a directory other than default, you also need to |
665 | give that as import parameter to the call of the local::lib module like this |
666 | way: |
8b1e8e69 |
667 | |
a19f7fe9 |
668 | echo '[ $SHLVL -eq 1 ] && eval "$(perl -I$HOME/foo/lib/perl5 -Mlocal::lib=$HOME/foo)"' >>~/.bashrc |
618272fe |
669 | |
aab64481 |
670 | After writing your shell configuration file, be sure to re-read it to get the |
8522f4d5 |
671 | changed settings into your current shell's environment. Bourne shells use |
898f36cf |
672 | C<. ~/.bashrc> for this, whereas C shells use C<source ~/.cshrc>. |
aab64481 |
673 | |
cab8f91f |
674 | =back |
675 | |
b9c94c15 |
676 | If you're on a slower machine, or are operating under draconian disk space |
677 | limitations, you can disable the automatic generation of manpages from POD when |
678 | installing modules by using the C<--no-manpages> argument when bootstrapping: |
679 | |
730f5dda |
680 | perl Makefile.PL --bootstrap --no-manpages |
b9c94c15 |
681 | |
8522f4d5 |
682 | To avoid doing several bootstrap for several Perl module environments on the |
683 | same account, for example if you use it for several different deployed |
684 | applications independently, you can use one bootstrapped local::lib |
898f36cf |
685 | installation to install modules in different directories directly this way: |
977a9ca3 |
686 | |
730f5dda |
687 | cd ~/mydir1 |
688 | perl -Mlocal::lib=./ |
689 | eval $(perl -Mlocal::lib=./) ### To set the environment for this shell alone |
898f36cf |
690 | printenv ### You will see that ~/mydir1 is in the PERL5LIB |
730f5dda |
691 | perl -MCPAN -e install ... ### whatever modules you want |
692 | cd ../mydir2 |
693 | ... REPEAT ... |
694 | |
a19f7fe9 |
695 | When used in a C<.bashrc> file, it is recommended that you protect against |
696 | re-activating a directory in a sub-shell. This can be done by checking the |
697 | C<$SHLVL> variable as shown in synopsis. Without this, sub-shells created by |
698 | the user or other programs will override changes made to the parent shell's |
699 | environment. |
700 | |
480534a8 |
701 | If you are working with several C<local::lib> environments, you may want to |
702 | remove some of them from the current environment without disturbing the others. |
703 | You can deactivate one environment like this (using bourne sh): |
704 | |
705 | eval $(perl -Mlocal::lib=--deactivate,~/path) |
706 | |
707 | which will generate and run the commands needed to remove C<~/path> from your |
708 | various search paths. Whichever environment was B<activated most recently> will |
709 | remain the target for module installations. That is, if you activate |
710 | C<~/path_A> and then you activate C<~/path_B>, new modules you install will go |
711 | in C<~/path_B>. If you deactivate C<~/path_B> then modules will be installed |
712 | into C<~/pathA> -- but if you deactivate C<~/path_A> then they will still be |
713 | installed in C<~/pathB> because pathB was activated later. |
714 | |
715 | You can also ask C<local::lib> to clean itself completely out of the current |
716 | shell's environment with the C<--deactivate-all> option. |
730f5dda |
717 | For multiple environments for multiple apps you may need to include a modified |
718 | version of the C<< use FindBin >> instructions in the "In code" sample above. |
719 | If you did something like the above, you have a set of Perl modules at C<< |
720 | ~/mydir1/lib >>. If you have a script at C<< ~/mydir1/scripts/myscript.pl >>, |
721 | you need to tell it where to find the modules you installed for it at C<< |
722 | ~/mydir1/lib >>. |
977a9ca3 |
723 | |
724 | In C<< ~/mydir1/scripts/myscript.pl >>: |
725 | |
730f5dda |
726 | use strict; |
727 | use warnings; |
728 | use local::lib "$FindBin::Bin/.."; ### points to ~/mydir1 and local::lib finds lib |
729 | use lib "$FindBin::Bin/../lib"; ### points to ~/mydir1/lib |
977a9ca3 |
730 | |
731 | Put this before any BEGIN { ... } blocks that require the modules you installed. |

734 | |
76f30678 |
735 | To set up the proper environment variables for your current session of |

737 | |

738 | C:\>perl -Mlocal::lib |
e322149f |
739 | set PERL_MB_OPT=--install_base C:\DOCUME~1\ADMINI~1\perl5 |

741 | set PERL5LIB=C:\DOCUME~1\ADMINI~1\perl5\lib\perl5 |
730f5dda |
742 | set PATH=C:\DOCUME~1\ADMINI~1\perl5\bin;%PATH% |
8522f4d5 |
743 | |
898f36cf |
744 | ### To set the environment for this shell alone |
d4ccf2ea |
745 | C:\>perl -Mlocal::lib > %TEMP%\tmp.bat && %TEMP%\tmp.bat && del %TEMP%\tmp.bat |
730f5dda |
746 | ### instead of $(perl -Mlocal::lib=./) |
53699c99 |
747 | |
d8666a05 |
748 | If you want the environment entries to persist, you'll need to add them to the |
76f30678 |
749 | Control Panel's System applet yourself or use L<App::local::lib::Win32Helper>. |
53699c99 |
750 | |
751 | The "~" is translated to the user's profile directory (the directory named for |
752 | the user under "Documents and Settings" (Windows XP or earlier) or "Users" |
9bc0788f |
753 | (Windows Vista or later)) unless $ENV{HOME} exists. After that, the home |
53699c99 |
754 | directory is translated to a short name (which means the directory must exist) |
755 | and the subdirectories are created. |

764 | =head1 RATIONALE |
765 | |
766 | The version of a Perl package on your machine is not always the version you |
767 | need. Obviously, the best thing to do would be to update to the version you |
768 | need. However, you might be in a situation where you're prevented from doing |
769 | this. Perhaps you don't have system administrator privileges; or perhaps you |
770 | are using a package management system such as Debian, and nobody has yet gotten |
771 | around to packaging up the version you need. |
772 | |
773 | local::lib solves this problem by allowing you to create your own directory of |
774 | Perl packages downloaded from CPAN (in a multi-user system, this would typically |
775 | be within your own home directory). The existing system Perl installation is |
776 | not affected; you simply invoke Perl with special options so that Perl uses the |
777 | packages in your own local package directory rather than the system packages. |
778 | local::lib arranges things so that your locally installed version of the Perl |
779 | packages takes precedence over the system installation. |
780 | |
781 | If you are using a package management system (such as Debian), you don't need to |
782 | worry about Debian and CPAN stepping on each other's toes. Your local version |
783 | of the packages will be written to an entirely separate directory from those |
8522f4d5 |
784 | installed by Debian. |

786 | =head1 DESCRIPTION |
787 | |
788 | This module provides a quick, convenient way of bootstrapping a user-local Perl |
789 | module library located within the user's home directory. It also constructs and |
790 | prints out for the user the list of environment variables using the syntax |
791 | appropriate for the user's current shell (as specified by the C<SHELL> |
730f5dda |
792 | environment variable), suitable for directly adding to one's shell |
793 | configuration file. |
794 | |
795 | More generally, local::lib allows for the bootstrapping and usage of a |
796 | directory containing Perl modules outside of Perl's C<@INC>. This makes it |
797 | easier to ship an application with an app-specific copy of a Perl module, or |
798 | collection of modules. Useful in cases like when an upstream maintainer hasn't |
799 | applied a patch to a module of theirs that you need for your application. |
1bc71e56 |
800 | |
801 | On import, local::lib sets the following environment variables to appropriate |
802 | values: |
803 | |
804 | =over 4 |
805 | |
e322149f |
806 | =item PERL_MB_OPT |

815 | |
1bc71e56 |
816 | =back |
817 | |
0d6470a5 |
818 | When possible, these will be appended to instead of overwritten entirely. |
819 | |
1bc71e56 |
820 | These values are then available for reference by any code after import. |

a949ebcd |
824 | See L<lib::core::only> for one way to do this - but note that |
d8b1a404 |
825 | there are a number of caveats, and the best approach is always to perform a |
826 | build against a clean perl (i.e. site and vendor as close to empty as possible). |

828 | =head1 IMPORT OPTIONS |
480534a8 |
829 | |
830 | Options are values that can be passed to the C<local::lib> import besides the |
831 | directory to use. They are specified as C<use local::lib '--option'[, path];> |
832 | or C<perl -Mlocal::lib=--option[,path]>. |
833 | |
834 | =head2 --deactivate |
835 | |
836 | Remove the chosen path (or the default path) from the module search paths if it |
837 | was added by C<local::lib>, instead of adding it. |

1169 | =head1 A WARNING ABOUT UNINST=1 |
1170 | |
1171 | Be careful about using local::lib in combination with "make install UNINST=1". |
1172 | The idea of this feature is that will uninstall an old version of a module |
1173 | before installing a new one. However it lacks a safety check that the old |
1174 | version and the new version will go in the same directory. Used in combination |
1175 | with local::lib, you can potentially delete a globally accessible version of a |
381738d7 |
1176 | module while installing the new version in a local place. Only combine "make |
0fb70b9a |
1177 | install UNINST=1" and local::lib if you understand these possible consequences. |

0d6470a5 |
1183 | =item * Directory names with spaces in them are not well supported by the perl |
1184 | toolchain and the programs it uses. Pure-perl distributions should support |
1185 | spaces, but problems are more likely with dists that require compilation. A |
1186 | workaround you can do is moving your local::lib to a directory with spaces |
1187 | B<after> you installed all modules inside your local::lib bootstrap. But be |
1188 | aware that you can't update or install CPAN modules after the move. |
47e70ca1 |
1189 | |
788ea146 |
1190 | =item * Rather basic shell detection. Right now anything with csh in its name is |
618272fe |
1191 | assumed to be a C shell or something compatible, and everything else is assumed |
53699c99 |
1192 | to be Bourne, except on Win32 systems. If the C<SHELL> environment variable is |
1193 | not set, a Bourne-compatible shell is assumed. |

1198 | |
6a9fd065 |
1199 | =item * local::lib loads L<File::Spec>. When used to set shell variables, |
1200 | this isn't a problem. When used inside a perl script, any L<File::Spec> |
1201 | version inside the local::lib will be ignored. A workaround for this is using |
1202 | C<use lib "$ENV{HOME}/perl5/lib/perl5";> inside the script instead of using |
1203 | C<local::lib> directly. |
1204 | |
0921389e |
1205 | =item * Conflicts with L<ExtUtils::MakeMaker>'s C<PREFIX> option. |
1206 | C<local::lib> uses the C<INSTALL_BASE> option, as it has more predictable and |
1207 | sane behavior. If something attempts to use the C<PREFIX> option when running |
1208 | a F<Makefile.PL>, L<ExtUtils::MakeMaker> will refuse to run, as the two |
1209 | options conflict. This can be worked around by temporarily unsetting the |
1210 | C<PERL_MM_OPT> environment variable. |
1211 | |
1212 | =item * Conflicts with L<Module::Build>'s C<--prefix> option. Similar to the |
1213 | previous limitation, but any C<--prefix> option specified will be ignored. |

1228 | =head1 TROUBLESHOOTING |
1229 | |
1230 | If you've configured local::lib to install CPAN modules somewhere in to your |
1231 | home directory, and at some point later you try to install a module with C<cpan |
1232 | -i Foo::Bar>, but it fails with an error like: C<Warning: You do not have |
1233 | permissions to install into /usr/lib64/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/x86_64-linux at |
1234 | /usr/lib64/perl5/5.8.8/Foo/Bar.pm> and buried within the install log is an |
1235 | error saying C<'INSTALL_BASE' is not a known MakeMaker parameter name>, then |
1236 | you've somehow lost your updated ExtUtils::MakeMaker module. |
1237 | |
1238 | To remedy this situation, rerun the bootstrapping procedure documented above. |
1239 | |
1240 | Then, run C<rm -r ~/.cpan/build/Foo-Bar*> |
1241 | |
1242 | Finally, re-run C<cpan -i Foo::Bar> and it should install without problems. |
