NAME

Module::Install::CustomInstallationPath - A Module::Install extension that allows the user to interactively specify custom installation directories

SYNOPSIS

  In Makefile.PL:
    use inc::Module::Install;
    ...
    Check_Custom_Installation();

DESCRIPTION

This is a Module::Install extension that helps users who do not have root access to install modules. It first prompts the user for a normal installation into the default Perl paths, or a custom installation. If the user selects a custom installation, it prompts the user for the value for PREFIX. This value is then used to add PREFIX=value to @ARGV.

If the user specifies PREFIX or INSTALLDIRS as arguments to Makefile.PL, then the prompts are skipped and a normal installation is done.

METHODS

Check_Custom_Installation()

Imported into Makefile.PL by Module::Install when invoked. This causes the prompts to be displayed and @ARGV to be updated (if necessary).
