[Bioperl-l] installation problem

[Osborne, Brian]

Elia,

The PREFIX value is used to install, as in :

perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=/usr/home/<username>/usr/local

The PERL5LIB variable is used to access the modules after they're installed,
but is not used by any scripts for the purposes of installing modules, if
I'm not mistaken. The page I cited goes into the details.

Actually you can just keep the modules in your home, and set the PERL5LIB
environment variable to read it from there.
