Module::Build::Tiny doesn't install into "local-lib"

I "use local-lib" - in particular I have this in my .cshrc setenv MODULEBUILDRC "/home/myname/perl5/.modulebuildrc" # contains: # install --install_base /home/myname/perl5 # setenv PERL_MM_OPT "INSTALL_BASE=/home/myname/perl5" setenv PERL5LIB "/home/myname/perl5/lib/perl5/x86_64-linux-thread-multi:/home/myname/perl5/lib/perl5" When I type "cpan Module::Build::Tiny" as myself (not root) it complains (see below) about not being able to write in /usr/lib Lots and lots of other modules have been fine in the past. Can you help please? All tests successful. Files=3, Tests=23, 1 wallclock secs ( 0.05 usr 0.02 sys + 0.47 cusr 0.10 csys = 0.64 CPU) Result: PASS LEONT/Module-Build-Tiny-0.019.tar.gz ./Build test -- OK Running Build install Prepending /home/myname/.cpan/build/Module-Build-Tiny-0.019-pVfvm9/blib/arch /home/myname/.cpan/build/Module-Build-Tiny-0.019-pVfvm9/blib/lib to PERL5LIB for 'install' !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You're using an outdated (and AFAIK deprecated) local::lib practice. Instead of that first line you want to do setenv PERL_MB_OPT "--install_base /home/myname/perl5" You may need to upgrade Module::Build if you have something older than 0.3600 (not very likely, given lots of dists require something newer). You also may want to add a PATH line. Best idea is to upgrade local::lib, and let it regenerate those lines. Leon

Thanks very much Leon. Updating local::lib and using the new shell variable setup worked fine (also for Starman which was also trying to install into /usr/bin) Although local::lib isn't very tcsh friendly but I can live with that (one day I will be all bash!)
