+## Installing packages locally
+
+If you don't have root access, just want to install packages for your own use, or want to install packages into AFS for use from multiple systems, you want [`local::lib`][local::lib]. (It's possible to configure CPAN to do this by hand, but trust me, `local::lib` is easier).
+
+ * Grab the latest `local::lib` tarball from CPAN (As of this writing, that's version [1.4.9][lltgz])
+ * Unpack the tarball and run
+
+ perl Makefile.PL --bootstrap=/path/to/install/
+ make && make install
+
+You can now run `perl -I/path/to/install/lib/perl5/ -Mlocal::lib` to get a fragment of shell code you should run to set up your environment to both use perl modules from your install, and to tell `cpan` to install there.
+
+For more details, such as how to manage multiple different `local::lib` installations, see `local::lib`'s [documentation on CPAN][local::lib]
