include stand-alone libraries with perl code?

[goBoating]

Hello All,

'Working on a project that uses XML::LibXSLT. 'Creating a bundle with Activestate perlApp. We need our app to install and run on machines that may not have libxml2 and libxslt installed. Ergo, we want to compile OS specific versions of those libraries to be bundled with our OS-specific releases.

The question, when I install XML::LibXML and XML::LibXSLT, how do I get the Perl module install to use the stand-alone version of the libraries instead of those that may or may not be on the system?

Thanks.

Found it.

When doing: perl Makefile.PL

you can supply the location of the libxslt libs. Like:

perl Makefile.PL XSLTPREFIX=/path/to/your/standalone/libs <Enter>
