3.1. Site Directories

The Perl packages must provide a mechanism for the local administrator to install modules under /usr/local but must not create or remove those directories.

Modules should be installed to the directories described above in Section 2.3, “Module Path” as site (current), programs to /usr/local/bin and manual pages under /usr/local/man.

3.2. Site Installation

The following commands should be sufficient in the majority of cases for the local administrator to install modules and must create directories as required:

perl Makefile.PL
make install
