Re: Can I do single-file, Object oriented perl?

Do you have the access to distribute a custom rpm for this script? That way you could package whataver you want, and it's easy to make sure all the servers have the same version.
Alternatively, take a look at PAR.

Alternatively, you could just dump a tarball over.. would be executed remote with a series of commands like (untested--verify the tar syntax):

scp foo.tar.gz user@host:/tmp
ssh user@host "rm -rf /tmp/foo/"
ssh user@host "tar cvfz /tmp/foo.tar.gz -C /tmp"
ssh user@host "perl -I/tmp/foo/modules /tmp/foo/bar.pl"
[download]

Alternatively, have your script use LWP (if avail) or wget or lynx or curl or scp to suck down a tarball of deps/tools/utils it needs from a central server of yours.

Those are all some good thoughts, and I have even thought of writing the utility to run from a central location and use Net::SSH::Perl to do all the checks. But my boss wants a single script that can be used to "sanity-check" a new system. This includes basic stuff like permissions on directories, mount points, etc., and more complex stuff like SSH keys. It is a utility script that simply prints out a report of problems found. You delete it after you fix all the issues.	[reply]
