Name        : perl-local-lib
Product     : Fedora EPEL 6
Version     : 1.006007
Release     : 3.el6
URL         : http://search.cpan.org/dist/local-lib
Summary     : Create and use a local lib/ for perl modules
Description :
This module provides a quick, convenient way of bootstrapping a user-
local Perl module 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, local::lib allows for the 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. Useful in cases like when an upstream maintainer
hasn't applied a patch to a module of theirs that you need for your
application.
