I am switching machines. I'm building a small Linux environment that is loaded onto a x86 device. It is compatible with the development environment. I copy /opt/perl to ~/devel/device_root and then use mksquashfs to create an image that is loaded into ram at boot.

Here is how I build perl today. I'm typing this from my head so it may not be exact.

PERL_INSTALL=/tmp/perl.`uuidgen`
./Configure -Dprefix=/opt/perl
make -f Makefile install.perl DESTDIR=${PERL_INSTALL}
# Now to install modules I need /opt/perl
sudo ln -sf ${PERL_INSTALL}/opt/perl /opt/perl

[download]

I have at least 5 directories of perl modules

for i in `cat modules.list`
do
  PERL_BIN=/opt/perl/bin/perl
  (cd $i && make -f OURMakefile install) || exit 1
done

Now I copy everything to the devel root

cp -dpvR ${PERL_INSTALL}/opt/perl ~/devel/root/opt

[download]

My idea is to use perlbrew so that I can use CPAN to download, build, and install modules instead of mean going into each directory. I also want to get rid of the sudo dependency. I thought If I use perlbrew to build perl and modules into ~/perlbrew/ I could simply copy the dist to ~/devel/root/. The problem is that the binary and files will be pointing to /home/cfowler/perlbrew/... and I do not want to create those symlinks on the device.
