Hello all,
I need to include CPAN modules as part of our custom "application stack". Currently we have a custom "application stack" that we distribute to our customers via CD. The application stack is primarily JBoss in nature. This custom "application stack" is installed on to a target machine after the customer installs our customized openSuSE 11.3 operating system. The installation for the application stack, is done via a set of home grown perl and bash scripts. What is the best way to install CPAN module(s) given the above? I was thinking that I would just include the tar gz files as part of the application stack, then have my install scripts un-archive the modules then call make. Is this too simple of an approach? Thank you for ANY suggestions, advice, best practices people wish to offer. Please note: as mentioned above, the installation is perl based, so perl is available (as part of openSuSE 11.3) along with various perl rpms. Thank you, mark
