Installation af perl program?

[Niels Hansen <sslug@sslug>]

Hej jeg vil gerne installere et program skrevet i perl, som jeg har 
fundet på nettet. Der er en installationsvejledning, som jeg har 
placeret nederst i mailen.

Hvad betyder den sidste del? (sat gengivet herunder):

"Installation with PREFIX:
PREFIX _must_ be a absolute path. you still may use '~' as this is 
expanded to your home directory.

note for debian users:
on debian for local installation INSTALLDIRS=site is used, specifing a 
PREFIX will result in installation into SITEPREFIX for the perl 
components of gscmxx (that are gscmxx and SCMxx.pm) and SITEPREFIX will 
be '$(PREFIX)/local'.
if you don't like that behavious a workaround is to specify 
INSTALLDIRS=vendor (perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=/path/to/install 
INSTALLDIRS=vendor) as it is used for packaged perl modules."


Skal hele installationen (med make og make install) køres som root?

Installationsvejledning fra hjemmesiden:

Installation:
-------------

You can install gscmxx like every perl module / application.
Extract the tarball:
> tar zxf gscmxx-.tar.gz

Change to the src directory
> cd gscmxx-

Run perl install methods
> perl Makefile.PL   (optional you may want to add a 
'PREFIX=/path//to/install',
                      see below for details)
> make
> make test          (optional)
Become root, if you want to install into system directories (no PREFIX)
> make install

Installation with PREFIX:
PREFIX _must_ be a absolute path. you still may use '~' as this is expanded
to your home directory.

note for debian users:
on debian for local installation INSTALLDIRS=site is used, specifing a 
PREFIX
will result in installation into SITEPREFIX for the perl components of 
gscmxx
(that are gscmxx and SCMxx.pm) and SITEPREFIX will be '$(PREFIX)/local'.
if you don't like that behavious a workaround is to specify 
INSTALLDIRS=vendor
(perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=/path/to/install INSTALLDIRS=vendor) as it is used
for packaged perl modules.
