Here's how I run kwiki.org...
I have a Perl script that scans my entire system for all Kwiki releated
modules and creates a tree of symlinks under the directory '/home/ingy/lib'.
Then in each of my twenty odd kwikis I do a
ln -s /home/ingy/lib lib
That's it. Now I just have to update my code in one place.
The best part about this for me is that since I own most of the code, it is
checked into my source control. That way I just need to sync my tree and
everything is live without doing the 'make install' dance.
When I switch over to subversion, I'll make the repository publicly available.
That way you can sync directly to prerelease bug fixes without needing to
install from CPAN.
hmmmm. good ideas brewing now. stay tuned...
Cheers, Brian
