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 382=head1 NAME
383
384local::lib - create and use a local lib/ for perl modules with PERL5LIB
385
386=head1 SYNOPSIS
387
388In code -
389
390 use local::lib; # sets up a local lib at ~/perl5
391
392 use local::lib '~/foo'; # same, but ~/foo
393
1bc71e56 394 # Or...
395 use FindBin;
396 use local::lib "$FindBin::Bin/../support"; # app-local support library
397
b5cc15f7 398From the shell -
399
0fb70b9a 400 # Install LWP and it's missing dependencies to the 'my_lwp' directory
401 perl -MCPAN -Mlocal::lib=my_lwp -e 'CPAN::install(LWP)'
402
403 # Install LWP and *all non-core* dependencies to the 'my_lwp' directory
404 perl -MCPAN -Mlocal::lib=--self-contained,my_lwp -e 'CPAN::install(LWP)'
405
406 # Just print out useful shell commands
b5cc15f7 407 $ perl -Mlocal::lib
408 export MODULEBUILDRC=/home/username/perl/.modulebuildrc
409 export PERL_MM_OPT='INSTALL_BASE=/home/username/perl'
410 export PERL5LIB='/home/username/perl/lib/perl5:/home/username/perl/lib/perl5/i386-linux'
411 export PATH="/home/username/perl/bin:$PATH"
412
bc30e1d5 413To bootstrap if you don't have local::lib itself installed -
414
e423efce 415 <download local::lib tarball from CPAN, unpack and cd into dir>
715c31a0 416
bc30e1d5 417 $ perl Makefile.PL --bootstrap
418 $ make test && make install
715c31a0 419
dc8ddd06 420 $ echo 'eval $(perl -I$HOME/perl5/lib/perl5 -Mlocal::lib)' >>~/.bashrc
715c31a0 421
618272fe 422 # Or for C shells...
715c31a0 423
618272fe 424 $ /bin/csh
425 % echo $SHELL
426 /bin/csh
427 % perl -I$HOME/perl5/lib/perl5 -Mlocal::lib >> ~/.cshrc
dc8ddd06 428
53699c99 429You can also pass --bootstrap=~/foo to get a different location -
8b1e8e69 430
431 $ perl Makefile.PL --bootstrap=~/foo
432 $ make test && make install
433
434 $ echo 'eval $(perl -I$HOME/foo/lib/perl5 -Mlocal::lib=$HOME/foo)' >>~/.bashrc
618272fe 435
b9c94c15 436If you're on a slower machine, or are operating under draconian disk space
437limitations, you can disable the automatic generation of manpages from POD when
438installing modules by using the C<--no-manpages> argument when bootstrapping:
439
440 $ perl Makefile.PL --bootstrap --no-manpages
441
977a9ca3 442If you want to install multiple Perl module environments, say for application evelopment,
443install local::lib globally and then:
444
445 $ cd ~/mydir1
446 $ perl -Mlocal::lib=./
447 $ eval $(perl -Mlocal::lib=./) ### To set the environment for this shell alone
448 $ printenv ### You will see that ~/mydir1 is in the PERL5LIB
449 $ perl -MCPAN -e install ... ### whatever modules you want
450 $ cd ../mydir2
451 ... REPEAT ...
452
453For multiple environments for multiple apps you may need to include a modified version of
454the C<< use FindBin >> instructions in the "In code" sample above. If you did something like
455the above, you have a set of Perl modules at C<< ~/mydir1/lib >>. If you have a script at
456C<< ~/mydir1/scripts/myscript.pl >>, you need to tell it where to find the modules you installed
c4dbb66c 457for it at C<< ~/mydir1/lib >>.
977a9ca3 458
459In C<< ~/mydir1/scripts/myscript.pl >>:
460
461 use strict;
462 use warnings;
463 use local::lib "$FindBin::Bin/.."; ### points to ~/mydir1 and local::lib finds lib
464 use lib "$FindBin::Bin/../lib"; ### points to ~/mydir1/lib
465
466Put this before any BEGIN { ... } blocks that require the modules you installed.
467
53699c99 468=head2 Differences when using this module under Win32
469
470 C:\>perl -Mlocal::lib
471 set MODULEBUILDRC=C:\DOCUME~1\ADMINI~1\perl5\.modulebuildrc
472 set PERL_MM_OPT=INSTALL_BASE=C:\DOCUME~1\ADMINI~1\perl5
473 set PERL5LIB=C:\DOCUME~1\ADMINI~1\perl5\lib\perl5;C:\DOCUME~1\ADMINI~1\perl5\lib\perl5\MSWin32-x86-multi-thread
474 set PATH=C:\DOCUME~1\ADMINI~1\perl5\bin;%PATH%
475
476 ### To set the environment for this shell alone
477 C:\>perl -Mlocal::lib > %TEMP%\tmp.bat && %TEMP%\tmp.bat && del %TEMP%\temp.bat
478 ### instead of $(perl -Mlocal::lib=./)
479
480If you want the environment entries to persist, you'll need to add then to the
481Control Panel's System applet yourself at the moment.
482
483The "~" is translated to the user's profile directory (the directory named for
484the user under "Documents and Settings" (Windows XP or earlier) or "Users"
485(Windows Vista or later) unless $ENV{HOME} exists. After that, the home
486directory is translated to a short name (which means the directory must exist)
487and the subdirectories are created.
488
618272fe 489=head1 DESCRIPTION
490
491This module provides a quick, convenient way of bootstrapping a user-local Perl
492module library located within the user's home directory. It also constructs and
493prints out for the user the list of environment variables using the syntax
494appropriate for the user's current shell (as specified by the C<SHELL>
495environment variable), suitable for directly adding to one's shell configuration
496file.
dc8ddd06 497
1bc71e56 498More generally, local::lib allows for the bootstrapping and usage of a directory
499containing Perl modules outside of Perl's C<@INC>. This makes it easier to ship
500an application with an app-specific copy of a Perl module, or collection of
501modules. Useful in cases like when an upstream maintainer hasn't applied a patch
502to a module of theirs that you need for your application.
503
504On import, local::lib sets the following environment variables to appropriate
505values:
506
507=over 4
508
509=item MODULEBUILDRC
510
511=item PERL_MM_OPT
512
513=item PERL5LIB
514
515=item PATH
516
517PATH is appended to, rather than clobbered.
518
519=back
520
521These values are then available for reference by any code after import.

647next, in an attempt to find where to configure the environment for a local
648library installation: L</resolve_empty_path>, L</resolve_home_path>,
649L</resolve_relative_path>. Passes the given path argument to
650L</resolve_empty_path> which then returns a result that is passed to
651L</resolve_home_path>, which then has its result passed to
652L</resolve_relative_path>. The result of this final call is returned from
653L</resolve_path>.

0fb70b9a 655=head1 A WARNING ABOUT UNINST=1
656
657Be careful about using local::lib in combination with "make install UNINST=1".
658The idea of this feature is that will uninstall an old version of a module
659before installing a new one. However it lacks a safety check that the old
660version and the new version will go in the same directory. Used in combination
661with local::lib, you can potentially delete a globally accessible version of a
381738d7 662module while installing the new version in a local place. Only combine "make
0fb70b9a 663install UNINST=1" and local::lib if you understand these possible consequences.
664
dc8ddd06 665=head1 LIMITATIONS
666
618272fe 667Rather basic shell detection. Right now anything with csh in its name is
668assumed to be a C shell or something compatible, and everything else is assumed
53699c99 669to be Bourne, except on Win32 systems. If the C<SHELL> environment variable is
670not set, a Bourne-compatible shell is assumed.
dc8ddd06 671
672Bootstrap is a hack and will use CPAN.pm for ExtUtils::MakeMaker even if you
673have CPANPLUS installed.
674
675Kills any existing PERL5LIB, PERL_MM_OPT or MODULEBUILDRC.
676
e423efce 677Should probably auto-fixup CPAN config if not already done.
678
dc8ddd06 679Patches very much welcome for any of the above.
bc30e1d5 680
53699c99 681On Win32 systems, does not have a way to write the created environment variables
682to the registry, so that they can persist through a reboot.
683
9a021b2b 684=head1 TROUBLESHOOTING
685
686If you've configured local::lib to install CPAN modules somewhere in to your
687home directory, and at some point later you try to install a module with C<cpan
688-i Foo::Bar>, but it fails with an error like: C<Warning: You do not have
689permissions to install into /usr/lib64/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/x86_64-linux at
690/usr/lib64/perl5/5.8.8/Foo/Bar.pm> and buried within the install log is an
691error saying C<'INSTALL_BASE' is not a known MakeMaker parameter name>, then
692you've somehow lost your updated ExtUtils::MakeMaker module.
693
694To remedy this situation, rerun the bootstrapping procedure documented above.
695
696Then, run C<rm -r ~/.cpan/build/Foo-Bar*>
697
698Finally, re-run C<cpan -i Foo::Bar> and it should install without problems.

707
618272fe 708local::lib looks at the user's C<SHELL> environment variable when printing out
709commands to add to the shell configuration file.
710
53699c99 711On Win32 systems, C<COMSPEC> is also examined.
