CPAN and Apache::ASP question

[Farshid Dabesh-Khoy <fa...@blueyonder.co.uk>]

Hi,
 
This may seem like a trivial question to some, but I am trying to
install Bundle::Apache::ASP through CPAN.
 
Where is the Apache::ASP bundle meant to be installed??? Is it meant to
be installed into the directory where I have installed Apache? I am a
bit uncomfortable with the fact that CPAN just installs the modules into
directories of its own choice. How can I tell it where to install them.
 
I am using Apache 2.0.46 with mod_perl enabled on Solaris 2.8.
 
I am very new to all this, so I'm sorry if I am missing something quite
trivial.
 
Regards
 
Farshid Dabesh-Khoy

It's not important for _you_ to be able to find the modules, it's 
important for _Perl_ to be able to find them.  Therefore, CPAN puts 
modules into directories where Perl will look for them.

Depending on the way the package is structured, it may be possible for 
you to tell it to install into a directory of your choice without too 
much trouble.  You will then have to make special efforts when using 
that module to tell Perl where to find it.

Is it really worth the pain?

Apache::ASP should work if let CPAN install it in the place that it
wants to, which should be something like
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/Bundle/Apache/ASP.pm.

That is the standard place to put all Perl modules, including
Apache::ASP.
