Re: When you change Perl versions, how do you resync all the CPAN modules you have installed [tag://sysadmin,cpan,modules,upgrade]

I have a script that I use to build the Perl environment for my applications. I never install stuff in the system Perl - that's for the system. So, when I want to upgrade Perl, I just rerun the script which does the following:

Grabs the specified Perl source
Builds it with the specified switches in the given directory
Installs a list of CPAN modules with that specific perl

Remember - you're wondering about maintenance of a scripting language. You use it for automating all your other sysadmin tasks . . .

My criteria for good software:

Does it work?
Can someone else come in, make a change, and be reasonably certain no bugs were introduced?

Could you share the script? Moreover, I compiled perl by myself some time ago, but I don't remember which switches I used. Is there somewhere I can look for this info? Flavio perl -ple'$_=reverse' <<<ti.xittelop@oivalf Io ho capito... ma tu che hai detto?	[reply]

`perl -V` (that's a capital V) should tell you most, if not all, of what you need to know.	[reply] [d/l]

Where would I put the script? Should this be something I upload to CPAN? My criteria for good software: Does it work? Can someone else come in, make a change, and be reasonably certain no bugs were introduced?	[reply]

I "see" at least three candidate places: CPAN, the Code Catacombs and this very thread. More or less it depends on how much you would like to receive feedback and bug reports, IMHO; putting stuff on CPAN could generate more traffic and "bug reports", while putting it here in Perl Monks restricts its visibility and makes it less "official".
