<p>
The Perl packages must provide a mechanism for the local
administrator to install modules under
<code class="filename">/usr/local</code> but must not create or remove
those directories.
</p>
<p>
Modules should be installed to the directories described above in
<a class="xref" href="ch-perl.html#s-paths" title="2.3. Module Path">Section 2.3, “Module Path”</a> as <em class="replaceable"><code>site</code></em>
(current), programs to <code class="filename">/usr/local/bin</code> and
manual pages under <code class="filename">/usr/local/man</code>.

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