Package: liblocal-lib-perl (2.000028-1)

module to use a local path for Perl modules

local::lib is a Perl module that provides a quick, convenient way of setting up a user-local library located within the user's home directory. It also constructs and prints out for the user the list of environment variables using the syntax appropriate for the user's current shell (as specified by the SHELL environment variable), suitable for directly adding to one's shell configuration file.

More generally, this module enables bootstrapping and usage of a directory containing Perl modules outside of Perl's @INC. This makes it easier to ship an application with an app-specific copy of a Perl module, or collection of modules. It is also useful for the case where an upstream maintainer hasn't applied a patch to a module of theirs that you need for your application.
