What you're describing is the way that the Krang CMS works. You're welcome to look at the code that handles builds and see if it might work for you.

    Actualy I allready put Krang in the download list :D I heard they are shiping all required modules with it - so figured that it might be worth of checking out.

    Are there any other applications that follow the same/similar path?

    It's a bit limiting because you can only ship pure Perl modules that way - or hope that you have a nice server admin who is willing to do it for you.

    Have you tried freelancing? Check out Scriptlance - I work there. For more info about Scriptlance and freelancing in general check out my home node.

      It's actually not that hard to install compiled modules with only Web access; have an installer script, run from a Web browser, that runs the compiler and installs the modules in the user's home directory. See Re: Re: Alternatives to User::Agent? for an example; obviously you'd have to adapt this for your purposes. I've found that this works for most Web hosting companies I've used, and I do it frequently.

      Krang includes XS modules that need to be compiled. It does make certain assumptions about the target though, e.g. that it is a unixy system with a compiler available.

        Yes that is a bit of problem I guess.

        Eitherway I'm using just Perl modules, or those widely available (such as TemplateToolkit). And while I use Windows - most of apps (~ 99%) are deployed to Linux or FreeBSD servers.

        I was also thinking to provide binary distros - where XS modules would be allready compiled.
