+=head2 The bootstrapping technique
+
+A typical way to install local::lib is using what is known as the
+"bootstrapping" technique. You would do this if your system administrator
+hasn't already installed local::lib. In this case, you'll need to install
+local::lib in your home directory.
+
+1. Download and unpack the local::lib tarball from CPAN (search for "Download"
+on the CPAN page about local::lib). Do this as an ordinary user, not as root
+or administrator. Unpack the file in your home directory or in any other
+convenient location.
+
+2. Run this:
+
+ perl Makefile.PL --bootstrap
+
+If the system asks you whether it should automatically configure as much
+as possible, you would typically answer yes.
+
+3. Run this:
+
+ make test && make install
+
+4. Arrange for Perl to use your own packages instead of the system
+packages. If you are using bash, you can do this as follows:
+
+ echo 'eval $(perl -I$HOME/perl5/lib/perl5 -Mlocal::lib)' >>~/.bashrc
+
+If you are using C shell, you can do this as follows:
+
+ /bin/csh
+ echo $SHELL
+ /bin/csh
+ perl -I$HOME/perl5/lib/perl5 -Mlocal::lib >> ~/.cshrc
+
+You can also pass --bootstrap=~/foo to get a different location -
+
+ perl Makefile.PL --bootstrap=~/foo
+ make test && make install
+
+ echo 'eval $(perl -I$HOME/foo/lib/perl5 -Mlocal::lib=$HOME/foo)' >>~/.bashrc
+
+After writing your shell configuration file, be sure to re-read it to get the
+changed settings into your current shell's environment. Bourne shells use C<.
+~/.bashrc> for this, whereas C shells use C<source ~/.cshrc>. Replace .bashrc or
+.cshrc with the name of the file you wrote above with the echo command.
+
+If you're on a slower machine, or are operating under draconian disk space
+limitations, you can disable the automatic generation of manpages from POD when
+installing modules by using the C<--no-manpages> argument when bootstrapping:
+
+ perl Makefile.PL --bootstrap --no-manpages
+
+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.
+
+=head2 Differences when using this module under Win32
+
+ C:\>perl -Mlocal::lib
+ set MODULEBUILDRC=C:\DOCUME~1\ADMINI~1\perl5\.modulebuildrc
+ set PERL_MM_OPT=INSTALL_BASE=C:\DOCUME~1\ADMINI~1\perl5
+ set PERL5LIB=C:\DOCUME~1\ADMINI~1\perl5\lib\perl5;C:\DOCUME~1\ADMINI~1\perl5\lib\perl5\MSWin32-x86-multi-thread
+ set PATH=C:\DOCUME~1\ADMINI~1\perl5\bin;%PATH%
+
+ ### To set the environment for this shell alone
+ C:\>perl -Mlocal::lib > %TEMP%\tmp.bat && %TEMP%\tmp.bat && del %TEMP%\temp.bat
+ ### instead of $(perl -Mlocal::lib=./)
+
+If you want the environment entries to persist, you'll need to add then to the
+Control Panel's System applet yourself at the moment.
+
+The "~" is translated to the user's profile directory (the directory named for
+the user under "Documents and Settings" (Windows XP or earlier) or "Users"
+(Windows Vista or later) unless $ENV{HOME} exists. After that, the home
+directory is translated to a short name (which means the directory must exist)
+and the subdirectories are created.
+
+=head1 RATIONALE
+
+The version of a Perl package on your machine is not always the version you
+need. Obviously, the best thing to do would be to update to the version you
+need. However, you might be in a situation where you're prevented from doing
+this. Perhaps you don't have system administrator privileges; or perhaps you
+are using a package management system such as Debian, and nobody has yet gotten
+around to packaging up the version you need.
+
+local::lib solves this problem by allowing you to create your own directory of
+Perl packages downloaded from CPAN (in a multi-user system, this would typically
+be within your own home directory). The existing system Perl installation is
+not affected; you simply invoke Perl with special options so that Perl uses the
+packages in your own local package directory rather than the system packages.
+local::lib arranges things so that your locally installed version of the Perl
+packages takes precedence over the system installation.
+
+If you are using a package management system (such as Debian), you don't need to
+worry about Debian and CPAN stepping on each other's toes. Your local version
+of the packages will be written to an entirely separate directory from those
+installed by Debian.
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+This module provides a quick, convenient way of bootstrapping a user-local Perl
+module library located within the user's home directory. It also constructs and
+prints out for the user the list of environment variables using the syntax
+appropriate for the user's current shell (as specified by the C<SHELL>
+environment variable), suitable for directly adding to one's shell
+configuration file.
+
+More generally, local::lib allows for the bootstrapping and usage of a
+directory containing Perl modules outside of Perl's C<@INC>. This makes it
+easier to ship an application with an app-specific copy of a Perl module, or
+collection of modules. Useful in cases like when an upstream maintainer hasn't
+applied a patch to a module of theirs that you need for your application.
+
+On import, local::lib sets the following environment variables to appropriate
+values:
+
+=over 4
+
+=item MODULEBUILDRC
+
+=item PERL_MM_OPT
+
+=item PERL5LIB
+
+=item PATH
+
+PATH is appended to, rather than clobbered.
+
+=back
+
+These values are then available for reference by any code after import.

+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
+assumed to be a C shell or something compatible, and everything else is assumed
+to be Bourne, except on Win32 systems. If the C<SHELL> environment variable is
+not set, a Bourne-compatible shell is assumed.
+
+Bootstrap is a hack and will use CPAN.pm for ExtUtils::MakeMaker even if you
+have CPANPLUS installed.
+
+Kills any existing PERL5LIB, PERL_MM_OPT or MODULEBUILDRC.
+
+Should probably auto-fixup CPAN config if not already done.
+
+Patches very much welcome for any of the above.
+
+On Win32 systems, does not have a way to write the created environment variables
+to the registry, so that they can persist through a reboot.
+
+=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.
+
+=head1 ENVIRONMENT
+
+=over 4
+
+=item SHELL
+
+=item COMSPEC
+
+local::lib looks at the user's C<SHELL> environment variable when printing out
+commands to add to the shell configuration file.
+
+On Win32 systems, C<COMSPEC> is also examined.
