Re^3: Automated build and deployment.

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.

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.

Wow, that's great! I've been looking for something like that for years. I'll have to play with it this weekend. -- sgifford's Web page	[reply]

it's still very limited. if your compiler and make are not in the usual paths you have to adjust that in the script. and the documentation is pretty... uhm... compact. i would like to use CPAN.pm with it; the reason I didn't was that my webhoster, for example, hasn't got CPAN.pm. but it could be easily bundled with cgipan. i'm open for any ideas =)	[reply]
