in reply to Add Modules to a PERL-Distribution

Wait, you want to add some modules to the newest distribution? I guess that would require a commit bit.

Now, if you mean "I'm willing to do some work between downloading the module and actually compiling it, but I'm not willing to do any effort after compiling it (like installing a bundle)", then I suggest you download the module, untar it, dump your modules in the cpan subdirectory, figure out what (if anything) you need to modify to Configure.sh and run the usual command.

    Exactly, I would like to download the latest Version and do some work in order to have them ready to be distributed into different Servers with the Modules I need. I was thinking of your option, but didn't try. I think I will do that during the Weekend and I will give you an Answer if it worked. Thank you.

      You're distributing the tar files and configuring/compiling them on each machine? Solaris has a packaging system, and I would be surprised if you couldn't use something like cfengine or puppet to distribute packages (in various formats, doesn't have to be Solaris native package system).

      I would not want compilers to be installed on servers (except if the servers task is to compile stuff...), let alone do any actual compiling. Why waste resources compiling stuff on each server?

        Hello Java Fan. I like your pragmatic style to solve solutions and I will also look in a further step into cfengine or puppet to see what potential they have.

        To be honest I wanted to compile that on each machine for two reasons. One was because I need to evaluate two Tools: Hudson and Bamboo. I wanted to build PERL with those Tools. The Second reason is to know deeper the features that a compile had. The Perl Distribution that was on the Server didn't even support Thread, therefor I wanted to compile it myself to learn how to do that. Thank you for your support.
