------------------------------------------------------------ STANDARD INSTALLATION On most systems, just do this from the command line: perl Makefile.PL make test make install Please note that you'll need permission to write to the standard installation directories; under Unix-like systems, this often means that you must be logged in as "root". If you're on a non-Unix platform, you might be using 'dmake' instead of 'make'. ------------------------------------------------------------ NON-STANDARD INSTALLATION To install to a non-standard place else (e.g., "/home/me/lib"), see the manual page for ExtUtils::MakeMaker, or try this: perl Makefile.PL LIB=/home/me/lib make test make install
