Perl

Benefits of using local::lib

• You can use the system Perl.
• You can install any modules without root privileges.
• You can use it whenever you need it, and not use it when you don't.
• Useful for immutable systems when you want to use the system Perl but the system Perl's module library is read-only.

Installing local::lib

perl -Mlocal::lib

Loading local::lib automatically

Place in ~/.zshenv or ~/.zshrc or ~/.bashrc or something:

eval "$(perl -I$HOME/perl5/lib/perl5 -Mlocal::lib)"

Deactivating local::lib temporarily

eval $(perl -Mlocal::lib=--deactivate)
