[Bioperl-l] Query re installing Bundle::BioPerl packages in a personal directory

[Jason Stajich]

When you run CPAN for the first time it gives you the option of setting
these parameters. you want to set
makepl_arg to LIB=/home/peter... PREFIX=/home/peter

cpan> o conf makepl_arg LIB=/home/peter...

You can always re-run the configuration with
cpan> o conf init
