Hi there,

=20

Is it possible to have all the installation files which come from
Crypt-SSLeay-0.51.tar.gz into a specific directory (i.e. the perl
distribution directory such as /usr/perl/)=20

So when the perl distribution is moved to another system, packaged with
some application, all the Crypt-SSLeay files would still be there,
instead of having scattered into system /lib and /usr/lib directories?=20

=20

What is the best way to install Crypt-SSLeay on a perl distribution and
be able to package it for use on another machine without having to
install the perl module again?=20

Thank you very much in advance,

Sepehr

Yes, if you are installing using the CPAN shell, you can
specify a Makefile.PL argument of PREFIX=/usr/perl. See the
docs for CPAN for details.

You could probably do this without any problems for most
modules except those that use binary code. The binary code
modules would have to be re-compiled.
