Debian Perl Policy
Chapter 2 - Locally Installed Modules

2.1 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 Module Path, Section 1.3 as site (current), programs to /usr/local/bin and manual pages under /usr/local/man.

2.2 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
