in reply to Cross Compiling Perl Modules

The big problem I see is going to be with DBD::Oracle. I'm not sure how it works with non-Unix installations, but when I've had to install it, it uses the native, local copies of the Oracle client libraries. If you can't build DBD::Oracle on your development machine in such a way that the Oracle client libraries are the same on the production machine, I don't think this is going to work. The other modules don't (to my knowledge) require much in the way of extra-Perl code/libraries.

You might have the most luck using CPAN and setting yourself up with a bundle file, and just have the IS people use CPAN to install that bundle. Else, just archive up the whole Perl lib directory that you're using for this project and distribute it en masse (assuming nothing in there is proprietary or is licensed in such a way as to disallow it).

Without access to a Novell system, though, I'm wondering if DBD::Oracle might be the difficult piece to get installed right.
