348 To bootstrap if you don't have local::lib itself installed -
350 <download local::lib tarball from CPAN, unpack and cd into dir>
352 $ perl Makefile.PL --bootstrap
353 $ make test && make install
355 $ echo 'eval $(perl -I$HOME/perl5/lib/perl5 -Mlocal::lib)' >>~/.bashrc
362 % perl -I$HOME/perl5/lib/perl5 -Mlocal::lib >> ~/.cshrc
364 You can also pass --boostrap=~/foo to get a different location -
366 $ perl Makefile.PL --bootstrap=~/foo
367 $ make test && make install
369 $ echo 'eval $(perl -I$HOME/foo/lib/perl5 -Mlocal::lib=$HOME/foo)' >>~/.bashrc
373 This module provides a quick, convenient way of bootstrapping a user-local Perl
374 module library located within the user's home directory. It also constructs and
375 prints out for the user the list of environment variables using the syntax
376 appropriate for the user's current shell (as specified by the C<SHELL>
377 environment variable), suitable for directly adding to one's shell configuration
380 More generally, local::lib allows for the bootstrapping and usage of a directory
381 containing Perl modules outside of Perl's C<@INC>. This makes it easier to ship
382 an application with an app-specific copy of a Perl module, or collection of
383 modules. Useful in cases like when an upstream maintainer hasn't applied a patch
384 to a module of theirs that you need for your application.
386 On import, local::lib sets the following environment variables to appropriate
399 PATH is appended to, rather than clobbered.
403 These values are then available for reference by any code after import.
407 =head2 ensure_directory_structure_for
411 =item Arguments: path
415 Attempts to create the given path, and all required parent directories. Throws
416 an exception on failure.
418 =head2 print_environment_vars_for
422 =item Arguments: path
426 Prints to standard output the variables listed above, properly set to use the
427 given path as the base directory.
429 =head2 setup_env_hash_for
433 =item Arguments: path
437 Constructs the C<%ENV> keys for the given path, by calling
438 C<build_environment_vars_for>.
440 =head2 install_base_perl_path
444 =item Arguments: path
448 Returns a path describing where to install the Perl modules for this local
449 library installation. Appends the directories C<lib> and C<perl5> to the given
452 =head2 install_base_arch_path
456 =item Arguments: path
460 Returns a path describing where to install the architecture-specific Perl
461 modules for this local library installation. Based on the
462 L</install_base_perl_path> method's return value, and appends the value of
463 C<$Config{archname}>.
465 =head2 install_base_bin_path
469 =item Arguments: path
473 Returns a path describing where to install the executable programs for this
474 local library installation. Based on the L</install_base_perl_path> method's
475 return value, and appends the directory C<bin>.
477 =head2 modulebuildrc_path
481 =item Arguments: path
485 Returns a path describing where to install the C<.modulebuildrc> file, based on
488 =head2 resolve_empty_path
492 =item Arguments: path
496 Builds and returns the base path into which to set up the local module
497 installation. Defaults to C<~/perl5>.
499 =head2 resolve_home_path
503 =item Arguments: path
507 Attempts to find the user's home directory. If installed, uses C<File::HomeDir>
508 for this purpose. If no definite answer is available, throws an exception.
510 =head2 resolve_relative_path
514 =item Arguments: path
518 Translates the given path into an absolute path.
524 =item Arguments: path
528 Calls the following in a pipeline, passing the result from the previous to the
529 next, in an attempt to find where to configure the environment for a local
530 library installation: L</resolve_empty_path>, L</resolve_home_path>,
531 L</resolve_relative_path>. Passes the given path argument to
532 L</resolve_empty_path> which then returns a result that is passed to
533 L</resolve_home_path>, which then has its result passed to
534 L</resolve_relative_path>. The result of this final call is returned from
537 =head1 A WARNING ABOUT UNINST=1
539 Be careful about using local::lib in combination with "make install UNINST=1".
540 The idea of this feature is that will uninstall an old version of a module
541 before installing a new one. However it lacks a safety check that the old
542 version and the new version will go in the same directory. Used in combination
543 with local::lib, you can potentially delete a globally accessible version of a
544 module while installing the new version in a local place. Only combine "make
545 install UNINST=1" and local::lib if you understand these possible consequences.
549 Rather basic shell detection. Right now anything with csh in its name is
550 assumed to be a C shell or something compatible, and everything else is assumed
551 to be Bourne. If the C<SHELL> environment variable is not set, a
552 Bourne-compatible shell is assumed.
554 Bootstrap is a hack and will use CPAN.pm for ExtUtils::MakeMaker even if you
555 have CPANPLUS installed.
557 Kills any existing PERL5LIB, PERL_MM_OPT or MODULEBUILDRC.
559 Should probably auto-fixup CPAN config if not already done.
561 Patches very much welcome for any of the above.
569 local::lib looks at the user's C<SHELL> environment variable when printing out
570 commands to add to the shell configuration file.
