To bootstrap if you don't have local::lib itself installed -
- $ perl -MCPAN -eshell # you only need to do this if you don't have a ~/.cpan
- cpan> exit
<download local::lib tarball from CPAN, unpack and cd into dir>
+
$ perl Makefile.PL --bootstrap
$ make test && make install
+
$ echo 'eval $(perl -I$HOME/perl5/lib/perl5 -Mlocal::lib)' >>~/.bashrc
+
# Or for C shells...
+
$ /bin/csh
% echo $SHELL
/bin/csh
% perl -I$HOME/perl5/lib/perl5 -Mlocal::lib >> ~/.cshrc
-You can also pass --boostrap=~/foo to get a different location (adjust the

+ $ echo 'eval $(perl -I$HOME/foo/lib/perl5 -Mlocal::lib=$HOME/foo)' >>~/.bashrc
+
+If you want to install multiple Perl module environments, say for application evelopment,
+install local::lib globally and then:
+
+ $ cd ~/mydir1
+ $ perl -Mlocal::lib=./
+ $ eval $(perl -Mlocal::lib=./) ### To set the environment for this shell alone
+ $ printenv ### You will see that ~/mydir1 is in the PERL5LIB
+ $ perl -MCPAN -e install ... ### whatever modules you want
+ $ cd ../mydir2
+ ... REPEAT ...
+
+For multiple environments for multiple apps you may need to include a modified version of
+the C<< use FindBin >> instructions in the "In code" sample above. If you did something like
+the above, you have a set of Perl modules at C<< ~/mydir1/lib >>. If you have a script at
+C<< ~/mydir1/scripts/myscript.pl >>, you need to tell it where to find the modules you installed
+for it at C<< ~/mydir1/lib >>.
+
+In C<< ~/mydir1/scripts/myscript.pl >>:
+
+ use strict;
+ use warnings;
+ use local::lib "$FindBin::Bin/.."; ### points to ~/mydir1 and local::lib finds lib
+ use lib "$FindBin::Bin/../lib"; ### points to ~/mydir1/lib
+
+Put this before any BEGIN { ... } blocks that require the modules you installed.

+Calls the following in a pipeline, passing the result from the previous to the
+next, in an attempt to find where to configure the environment for a local
+library installation: L</resolve_empty_path>, L</resolve_home_path>,
+L</resolve_relative_path>. Passes the given path argument to
+L</resolve_empty_path> which then returns a result that is passed to
+L</resolve_home_path>, which then has its result passed to
+L</resolve_relative_path>. The result of this final call is returned from
+L</resolve_path>.
+
+=head1 A WARNING ABOUT UNINST=1
+
+Be careful about using local::lib in combination with "make install UNINST=1".
+The idea of this feature is that will uninstall an old version of a module
+before installing a new one. However it lacks a safety check that the old
+version and the new version will go in the same directory. Used in combination
+with local::lib, you can potentially delete a globally accessible version of a
+module while installing the new version in a local place. Only combine "make
+install UNINST=1" and local::lib if you understand these possible consequences.
+
=head1 LIMITATIONS
Rather basic shell detection. Right now anything with csh in its name is
Patches very much welcome for any of the above.
+=head1 TROUBLESHOOTING
+
+If you've configured local::lib to install CPAN modules somewhere in to your
+home directory, and at some point later you try to install a module with C<cpan
+-i Foo::Bar>, but it fails with an error like: C<Warning: You do not have
+permissions to install into /usr/lib64/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/x86_64-linux at
+/usr/lib64/perl5/5.8.8/Foo/Bar.pm> and buried within the install log is an
+error saying C<'INSTALL_BASE' is not a known MakeMaker parameter name>, then
+you've somehow lost your updated ExtUtils::MakeMaker module.
+
+To remedy this situation, rerun the bootstrapping procedure documented above.
+
+Then, run C<rm -r ~/.cpan/build/Foo-Bar*>
+
+Finally, re-run C<cpan -i Foo::Bar> and it should install without problems.
