in reply to Module Publishing Dilemma

CPAN is really set up as a repository for modules. It has some support for scripts, but it's not near as well managed as the module stuff. It sounds like your application fits best into the script area however.

    That is what I initially thought. But since it has some dependencies, and I wanted the thing to actually install and run on multiple architectures I thought it would be better to distribute it as a module (so people can download, make, test and install).

    I might breakdown the script into a rich set of methods and make couple of modules (one with Imendio methods and the other with dotProject methods, under the Project namespace) out of it with a front-end script. In fact, now that I say this, I was thinking of a sync mechanism that would update Imendio from dotProject so the idea makes even more sense.

    I will check some examples (module programs) that people have sugested in this thread to make the final decision.

    Thanks for your comments!
