How to install a module using custom location

mkdir -p ~/perl5lib
perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=~/perl5lib
make
make install
export PERL5LIB=$PERL5LIB:~/perl5lib

---

1.  mkdir -p ~/lib/perl
2.  perl Makefile.PL LIB=~/lib/perl
3.  make install

To use modules that are installed in your home directory, specify the -I switch:

perl -I/home/khai/lib/perl -T 00-load.t

The -I switch tells Perl to look for modules in alternate installation directory. The directory path must immediately follow the -I switch with no space in-between.
