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

Hello again!!

In continuation to my last question, in my company here we package all our code in rpms and install it on the clients computers including packaging of the Linux, since Perl modules are not coming as rpms but downloaded and installed directly from CPAN I want to know how can I package all the Perl project including all the modules I'v downloaded from CPAN to one (or more) rpm and install it at the client's.
BTW, I'm not using mod_perl so I'll prefer removing it from the installation.

Thanks

Hotshot

    PAR - Perl Archive Toolkit. "This module lets you easily bundle a typical blib/ tree into a zip file, called a Perl Archive, or PAR."

      Thanks for the recommendation. :-) I should also note that the "pp" utility included with PAR.pm also makes it very easy to generate self-contained perl scripts (that only require the perl binary to run), or self-contained executables (think perl2exe).

      Depending on your scenario you may find one or the various options offered by PAR more helpful than others.
