in reply to module installation size

I know of no such way, other than writing a program to get the data from MetaCPAN, which has the dependencies and the tarballs. Myself, if anything, I've been concerned about memory footprint, not disk usage.


The way forward always starts with a minimal test.

    Sure, but at the moment I am playing on a Fire 7 tablet where currently perl-modules go to the interal storage, so disk usage is a (slight) concern for me.

      Should be Unix-based, i.e. Android or something like that. Find the modules directory, move it to an SD card, and replace it by a symlink to the directory on the SD card.

      Come back when the 256 GByte SD card is full. ;-)
