in thread customize cpan autobundle


"Here's why I'm suggesting that - it's better to test out any applications depending on that autobundle first. The best way I've found to build an autobundle is to install the base, then run your stuff. You're probably missing a module, so you install it."
But i won't be missing a module in Perl v5.8.6 if that module is already installed in v5.6.1 (i have both version of perl installed) AND if that module does NOT have XS/C extension, right?

    Different @INC's. You can copy one to another, but they're not considered the same. Reason being is that even PurePerl can have Perl version dependencies. For example, PDF::Template installs differently depending on if you're using 5.8+ vs. pre-5.8.

    Being right, does not endow the right to be rude; politeness costs nothing.
    Being unknowing, is not the same as being stupid.
    Expressing a contrary opinion, whether to the individual or the group, is more often a sign of deeper thought than of cantankerous belligerence.
    Do not mistake your goals as the only goals; your opinion as the only opinion; your confidence as correctness. Saying you know better is not the same as explaining you know better.
