in reply to installing modules in a roll-out-friendly way

I can't think of anything friendlier than perl -MCPAN -e"install Module::Name", except perhaps to use your linux distro's packaging scheme. Do you really need to fight against using perl's regular locations for site modules?

Note that my previous stock answer would have been to specify a prefix; but with more and more modules switching from MakeMaker to Module::Build (prematurely, IMO) I don't know how to guarantee that that would work.

    my problem with the excellent CPAN.pm is that it needs an internet-connection, which isn't always an option for those machines of mine.
    what do you mean by "prefix"?
