Hello.

I have a small problem with a Mac at work. I need to use several Perl modules on this computer but I don't have root access to install the modules. So I can do: 'perl Makefile.PL', 'make', 'make test', but not 'make install'.
Is there anyway to compile the modules and store them in my home directory (say at ~/perlMods/) and then tell my perl scripts where they are? I thought I could do something like this but it doesn't seem to work:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use BioModule; ## let's say this is the name of the module I want to use which is located in ~/perlMods/BioModule



Does anyone have any idea how to do this? (Is my question even remotely clear?)

Thanks.
