Please read and follow the instructions on local::lib\nmanpage (\"The bootstrapping technique\" section):\n\n http://search.cpan.org/~apeiron/local-lib-1.008004/lib/local/lib.pm\n\nThen you can install Alien::SVN (or any other Perl package) using\n'cpan' client (or intstall 'cpanm' / 'App::cpanminus').\n\nHTH\n-- \nJakub Narebski\nPoland\n"}]}
