Hi all,

Pure out of curiosity and slightly off topic: has someone created a debian or rpm packages for distributing Perl programs? And what are your experiences with it?

In the program I'm developing, I use a mix modules coming form the Debian package repositories and modules that I installed myself via CPAN because there wasn't a Debian package available. My use case is a bit different than the original one: I'm targeting computers that are connected via internet and are one flavour of Linux.

I would like to create a debian package that contains all the necessary scripts and additional cpan modules I need. It would allow my to easily update my scripts and roll-out new features.

I didn't research the topic yet, but in light of this question I would like to know if anyone has experience with it. And if you can give me some pointers to good relevant reading material, it would be a great help.

Kind regards

Erik
