3.3.2. Configuring local-lib module#

To configure local-lib:

Open the $HOME/.bashrc file in a text editor.

Add the following text at the end of the file:

# Configuration for Perl local-lib module
eval "$(perl -Mlocal::lib)"

Save the file.

Here is a sample .bashrc, for reference (Fig. 57).

Configuration is now complete.

You can now start installing modules from CPAN and other sources.
