31WHOA THERE! It looks like you've got some fancy dashes in your commandline!
32These are *not* the traditional -- dashes that software recognizes. You
33probably got these by copy-pasting from the perldoc for this module as
34rendered by a UTF8-capable formatter. This most typically happens on an OS X
35terminal, but can happen elsewhere too. Please try again after replacing the
36dashes with normal minus signs.

b5cc15f7 377=head1 NAME
378
379local::lib - create and use a local lib/ for perl modules with PERL5LIB
380
381=head1 SYNOPSIS
382
383In code -
384
385 use local::lib; # sets up a local lib at ~/perl5
386
387 use local::lib '~/foo'; # same, but ~/foo
388
1bc71e56 389 # Or...
390 use FindBin;
391 use local::lib "$FindBin::Bin/../support"; # app-local support library
392
b5cc15f7 393From the shell -
394
0fb70b9a 395 # Install LWP and it's missing dependencies to the 'my_lwp' directory
396 perl -MCPAN -Mlocal::lib=my_lwp -e 'CPAN::install(LWP)'
397
398 # Install LWP and *all non-core* dependencies to the 'my_lwp' directory
399 perl -MCPAN -Mlocal::lib=--self-contained,my_lwp -e 'CPAN::install(LWP)'
400
401 # Just print out useful shell commands
b5cc15f7 402 $ perl -Mlocal::lib
403 export MODULEBUILDRC=/home/username/perl/.modulebuildrc
404 export PERL_MM_OPT='INSTALL_BASE=/home/username/perl'
405 export PERL5LIB='/home/username/perl/lib/perl5:/home/username/perl/lib/perl5/i386-linux'
406 export PATH="/home/username/perl/bin:$PATH"
407
bc30e1d5 408To bootstrap if you don't have local::lib itself installed -
409
e423efce 410 <download local::lib tarball from CPAN, unpack and cd into dir>
715c31a0 411
bc30e1d5 412 $ perl Makefile.PL --bootstrap
413 $ make test && make install
715c31a0 414
dc8ddd06 415 $ echo 'eval $(perl -I$HOME/perl5/lib/perl5 -Mlocal::lib)' >>~/.bashrc
715c31a0 416
618272fe 417 # Or for C shells...
715c31a0 418
618272fe 419 $ /bin/csh
420 % echo $SHELL
421 /bin/csh
422 % perl -I$HOME/perl5/lib/perl5 -Mlocal::lib >> ~/.cshrc
dc8ddd06 423
53699c99 424You can also pass --bootstrap=~/foo to get a different location -
8b1e8e69 425
426 $ perl Makefile.PL --bootstrap=~/foo
427 $ make test && make install
428
429 $ echo 'eval $(perl -I$HOME/foo/lib/perl5 -Mlocal::lib=$HOME/foo)' >>~/.bashrc
618272fe 430
b9c94c15 431If you're on a slower machine, or are operating under draconian disk space
432limitations, you can disable the automatic generation of manpages from POD when
433installing modules by using the C<--no-manpages> argument when bootstrapping:
434
435 $ perl Makefile.PL --bootstrap --no-manpages
436
977a9ca3 437If you want to install multiple Perl module environments, say for application evelopment,
438install local::lib globally and then:
439
440 $ cd ~/mydir1
441 $ perl -Mlocal::lib=./
442 $ eval $(perl -Mlocal::lib=./) ### To set the environment for this shell alone
443 $ printenv ### You will see that ~/mydir1 is in the PERL5LIB
444 $ perl -MCPAN -e install ... ### whatever modules you want
445 $ cd ../mydir2
446 ... REPEAT ...
447
448For multiple environments for multiple apps you may need to include a modified version of
449the C<< use FindBin >> instructions in the "In code" sample above. If you did something like
450the above, you have a set of Perl modules at C<< ~/mydir1/lib >>. If you have a script at
451C<< ~/mydir1/scripts/myscript.pl >>, you need to tell it where to find the modules you installed
c4dbb66c 452for it at C<< ~/mydir1/lib >>.
977a9ca3 453
454In C<< ~/mydir1/scripts/myscript.pl >>:
455
456 use strict;
457 use warnings;
458 use local::lib "$FindBin::Bin/.."; ### points to ~/mydir1 and local::lib finds lib
459 use lib "$FindBin::Bin/../lib"; ### points to ~/mydir1/lib
460
461Put this before any BEGIN { ... } blocks that require the modules you installed.
462
53699c99 463=head2 Differences when using this module under Win32
464
465 C:\>perl -Mlocal::lib
466 set MODULEBUILDRC=C:\DOCUME~1\ADMINI~1\perl5\.modulebuildrc
467 set PERL_MM_OPT=INSTALL_BASE=C:\DOCUME~1\ADMINI~1\perl5
468 set PERL5LIB=C:\DOCUME~1\ADMINI~1\perl5\lib\perl5;C:\DOCUME~1\ADMINI~1\perl5\lib\perl5\MSWin32-x86-multi-thread
469 set PATH=C:\DOCUME~1\ADMINI~1\perl5\bin;%PATH%
470
471 ### To set the environment for this shell alone
472 C:\>perl -Mlocal::lib > %TEMP%\tmp.bat && %TEMP%\tmp.bat && del %TEMP%\temp.bat
473 ### instead of $(perl -Mlocal::lib=./)
474
475If you want the environment entries to persist, you'll need to add then to the
476Control Panel's System applet yourself at the moment.
477
478The "~" is translated to the user's profile directory (the directory named for
479the user under "Documents and Settings" (Windows XP or earlier) or "Users"
480(Windows Vista or later) unless $ENV{HOME} exists. After that, the home
481directory is translated to a short name (which means the directory must exist)
482and the subdirectories are created.
483
618272fe 484=head1 DESCRIPTION
485
486This module provides a quick, convenient way of bootstrapping a user-local Perl
487module library located within the user's home directory. It also constructs and
488prints out for the user the list of environment variables using the syntax
489appropriate for the user's current shell (as specified by the C<SHELL>
490environment variable), suitable for directly adding to one's shell configuration
491file.
dc8ddd06 492
1bc71e56 493More generally, local::lib allows for the bootstrapping and usage of a directory
494containing Perl modules outside of Perl's C<@INC>. This makes it easier to ship
495an application with an app-specific copy of a Perl module, or collection of
496modules. Useful in cases like when an upstream maintainer hasn't applied a patch
497to a module of theirs that you need for your application.
498
499On import, local::lib sets the following environment variables to appropriate
500values:
501
502=over 4
503
504=item MODULEBUILDRC
505
506=item PERL_MM_OPT
507
508=item PERL5LIB
509
510=item PATH
511
512PATH is appended to, rather than clobbered.
513
514=back
515
516These values are then available for reference by any code after import.

644L</resolve_relative_path>. Passes the given path argument to
645L</resolve_empty_path> which then returns a result that is passed to
646L</resolve_home_path>, which then has its result passed to

0fb70b9a 650=head1 A WARNING ABOUT UNINST=1
651
652Be careful about using local::lib in combination with "make install UNINST=1".
653The idea of this feature is that will uninstall an old version of a module
654before installing a new one. However it lacks a safety check that the old
655version and the new version will go in the same directory. Used in combination
656with local::lib, you can potentially delete a globally accessible version of a
381738d7 657module while installing the new version in a local place. Only combine "make
0fb70b9a 658install UNINST=1" and local::lib if you understand these possible consequences.
659
dc8ddd06 660=head1 LIMITATIONS
661
618272fe 662Rather basic shell detection. Right now anything with csh in its name is
663assumed to be a C shell or something compatible, and everything else is assumed
53699c99 664to be Bourne, except on Win32 systems. If the C<SHELL> environment variable is
665not set, a Bourne-compatible shell is assumed.
dc8ddd06 666
667Bootstrap is a hack and will use CPAN.pm for ExtUtils::MakeMaker even if you
668have CPANPLUS installed.
669
670Kills any existing PERL5LIB, PERL_MM_OPT or MODULEBUILDRC.
671
e423efce 672Should probably auto-fixup CPAN config if not already done.
673
dc8ddd06 674Patches very much welcome for any of the above.
bc30e1d5 675
53699c99 676On Win32 systems, does not have a way to write the created environment variables
677to the registry, so that they can persist through a reboot.

9a021b2b 679=head1 TROUBLESHOOTING
680
681If you've configured local::lib to install CPAN modules somewhere in to your
682home directory, and at some point later you try to install a module with C<cpan
683-i Foo::Bar>, but it fails with an error like: C<Warning: You do not have
684permissions to install into /usr/lib64/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/x86_64-linux at
685/usr/lib64/perl5/5.8.8/Foo/Bar.pm> and buried within the install log is an
686error saying C<'INSTALL_BASE' is not a known MakeMaker parameter name>, then
687you've somehow lost your updated ExtUtils::MakeMaker module.
688
689To remedy this situation, rerun the bootstrapping procedure documented above.
690
691Then, run C<rm -r ~/.cpan/build/Foo-Bar*>
692
693Finally, re-run C<cpan -i Foo::Bar> and it should install without problems.

704commands to add to the shell configuration file.
705
53699c99 706On Win32 systems, C<COMSPEC> is also examined.
