Executing a Perl script without requiring "use"-d CPAN modules

neversaint has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Dear Masters,
Suppose I have the following code (this_code.pl) which contain certain CPAN modules.

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

# this_code.pl comes with these two modules and more
use Algorithm::Loops 'NestedLoops';
use Algorithm::Diff;

# The rest of the code here.

Now, is there a way I can "package" my code above such that anybody using my code above doesn't have to install those two modules in his PC?

Hi neversaint, You may want to have a look at Perl Packager for this. Hope this helps. Martin	[reply]

Maybe you want Acme::Intraweb. (this is a joke) -- <http://dave.org.uk> "The first rule of Perl club is you do not talk about Perl club." -- Chip Salzenberg	[reply]

Another approach would be to put the modules in your tarball and use lib (I believe these modules are "pure perl" and don't require compiling). -- b10m All code is usually tested, but rarely trusted.	[reply]

Yes. Unlike the previous joke, this one actually does not install the module. The intelligent reader will judge for himself. Without examining the facts fully and fairly, there is no way of knowing whether vox populi is really vox dei, or merely vox asinorum. — Cyrus H. Gordon	[reply]
