in thread how to create a CPAN bundle for your own private server

the reason for uploading the bundle are
1.02packages.details.txt.gz will have the name of your bundle and ull be using this(updated) file
2.youll get the checksums for your bundle which i think cannot be created manually
now once you have done your job you may delete your bundle from CPAN since it is of no use for the outside world!!!
thanks!!!

    "now once you have done your job you may delete your bundle from CPAN"

    So why are you publishing it to the world if nobody else is interested in it? Then you're going to delete it from CPAN? You seem confused, also your exclamation mark key seems faulty.

    Consider my suggestions of a local cpan mirror internal to your company, and 'releasing' your application specific bundles to that, rather than the public CPAN. http://blogs.perl.org/users/randy_stauner/2011/06/releasing-to-minicpan.html

    Again (IMHO) this would have been discussed had this been posted as a meditation rather than directly in Tutorials.

    Update: This post was written before the thread was moved from Tutorials to Meditations.

    If its of no use to the outside world, why upload to CPAN?

      ok dont upload it on CPAN
      then add the following step
      manually add your Bundle name in 03packages file
      when you run the bundle then CPAN shell will warn you about the "absence of Checksums"
