I want to install various perl modules local to my home account, the standard perl MakeMaker allows the following
~/local/src$ perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=~/local/ does not work under Debian 2.1, It seems that no matter what I set PREFIX to, Install.pm wants to put it in /usr/local/lib/site_perl. I've never come across this behaviour from perl before, I presume this is some Debian thing? (I've been a debian user for 2.5 days :-) Also, even if I concede and (as root) install my modules in /usr/local/lib/site_perl, the man pages go to /usr/man/man3 rather than /usr/local/man/man3...
