I think you are saying you want to be able to create one file you can give to someone else and have them run a Perl 5 program you have written without having to install all of the modules (and possibly even perl itself). If this is the case, then you are in luck. There are a couple of solutions that exist today:
PAR and PAR::Packer PAR (Perl Archive) is similar in concept to JAR (Java Archive). The script and all of the modules needed to run it are combined into one file. PAR::Packer takes this a step farther and bundles the perl executable as well. http://search.cpan.org/dist/PAR/lib/PAR.pm http://search.cpan.org/dist/PAR-Packer/lib/pp.pm App::FatPacker This is another take on the idea of bundling the script and all of its dependencies. I do not believe it bundles the perl executable though. http://search.cpan.org/dist/App-FatPacker/bin/fatpack Another popular solution is to use a Linux Container like Docker. With a container, you build a as much of a machine as you need to run your app and then distribute that. The users then run the container in a special sandboxed area of the OS. http://www.infoworld.com/article/3072929/linux/containers-101-linux-containers-and-docker-explained.html On Mon, Jan 23, 2017 at 3:52 AM Luca Ferrari <fluca1...@infinito.it> wrote: > Hi all, > now this should be really trivial, so please point me to documentation > if I'm missing something. > I have collected a bunch of perl 5 applications to do some tasks, and > I would like to make them modular, in the sense make them as > individual distributions. > I would like to have some module-starter like application to > build/import the structure for having a distro with executables > (pretty much no modules at all). > Any suggestion? > > Thanks, > Luca > > -- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: beginners-unsubscr...@perl.org > For additional commands, e-mail: beginners-h...@perl.org > http://learn.perl.org/ > > >
