Re: How do manage your Perl application development, build, and deployment?

I've found the old unix maxim of small tools that do one job and do it well is a good one to keep in mind. A large "solution" isn't going to do exactly what you want. Instead a collection of solutions of the sub-problems of your task is more manageable. Then you can tie them together into your overarching solution.

In other words, a not-quite-great-but-good-enough solution may be the best there is.

I use git, Module::Build and Module::Starter. I have a home-brew system for distributing the libs to my various machines. None of these are great or optimum, but it works. My needs are pretty simple though. I only have one OS, I don't need multiple versions of anything, I work alone, I only work on small projects.	[reply]
