Files related to these packages will be copied to the local perl
library directory. The installation won't touch overall system
or Oracle configuration. If in doubt, the owner could set up
a separate account (that doesn't have permission to modify the
system or Oracle configuration) with which he makes a "private
installation" of these modules. In your programs you'll need
to declare that private library directory then with 'use lib'.

See the documentation you get with "perldoc -q library".
