Esteemed Monks,

I'm moving a CGI application I've written to a new machine. I'm on a protected intranet so I can't get to CPAN directly. I have what I thought was a very small number of modules that are needed. Unfortuantately, their dependencies add up to a lot of modules, enough that I'm getting really annoyed tracking them down and installing them by hand.

I need a better solution to this problem. I can envision a couple of solutions. The one at the top of my list would be to "install" all my needed modules in a seperate directory near my app and modify @INC to use this path. Then when I was ready to package it up, I could just copy the directory ( I'm targeting an identical an OS/Hardware /Perl version platform.)

my Questions:

** How can I find all used modules and their dependencies?

** Specifically, when building a module, how can I tell it where to install?


I'm also interested in related wisdom, other approaches for example...

thanks
