Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hello,

Noob with 1st question. Home sys is Winbloze, perl 5.10, apache 2.2, php 3.3 etc and web host runs linux/apache, perl 5.8

I didn't order virtual terminal when I signed up with host, so I'm looking for a poor man's way of testing my perl/php scripts on the server through https w/iframe.

use a fixed sandbox directory with apache configed,

display list of perl/php files

select from list

display errors and results in an iframe

i've search for cgi/iframe but really can't find anythhing similar.

any help? thx

      thanks i'll have a look

      also pc uses ppm for repo modules etc, there seems be no quick and painless way to get a mirror installation of same modules on OSX or linux. does anyhave a script? or code? dump out modules list and feed that into something that grabs and installs from CPAN?

        See the "autobundle" command of App::CPAN. With it, you can create a list of all installed modules, edit it, and install it again on another Perl installation.

        Personally, I recommend maintaining a Makefile.PL instead, which lists the prerequisites of your application. This makes it much, much easier to reinstall Perl on the same machine or to install the application (and especially all its prerequisites) on another machine. Module::Install is an easy-to-use way to write your Makefile.PL.
