NAME
      LocalModInstall - Install Perl modules locally
                        (into your home directory)

SYNOPSIS
        perl -S LocalModInstall.pl
        make
        make test
        make install

DESCRIPTION
      Install the "LocalModInstall" package using the usual
      incantation

        perl Makefile.PL
        make install

      or move the file "LocalModInstall.pl" into one of the
      directories in your $PATH and make it executable
      ("chmod a+x LocalModInstall.pl").

      Then use

        perl -S LocalModInstall.pl

      instead of

        perl Makefile.PL

      whenever you want to install a module locally.

      After that, use

        make
        make test
        make install

      as usual.

      The script "LocalModInstall.pl" will print out the correct
      settings to use for the "use lib" statement in your scripts
      or the "PERL5LIB" environment variable, as well as the
      "MANPATH" environment variable.
