Hello all,





I need to include CPAN modules as part of our custom "application
stack".



Currently we have a custom "application stack" that we distribute to our
customers via CD. The application stack is primarily JBoss in nature.



This custom "application stack" is installed on to a target machine
after the customer installs our customized openSuSE 11.3 operating
system.



The installation for the application stack, is done via a set of home
grown perl and bash scripts.



What is the best way to install CPAN module(s) given the above?



I was thinking that I would just include the tar gz files as part of the
application stack, then have my install scripts un-archive the modules
then call make.



Is this too simple of an approach?



Thank you for ANY suggestions, advice, best practices people wish to
offer.



Please note: as mentioned above, the installation is perl based, so perl
is available (as part of openSuSE 11.3) along with various perl rpms.



Thank you,

mark

Personally, I'd like to see a way of executing a perl script/application =
in such a way that Perl runs off and grabs any required modules from =
CPAN (if the user has permission, of course).

that makes very little sense. what if the program is running on a box
with no net connection? there are many other reasons why that is a silly
thing to desire. i will leave it as an exercise to list them.
