All,
What is the best method you use to install modules not hosted on CPAN
but need to be available to a group of people who are not too familiar
with Perl per se.
I have some distributions that I want to be able for the user to
basically type 'installer.pl' or 2x-click on it and it use CPAN to
install all the requisite modules. Some of these modules will be from
the CPAN respos, otherwise will be included at tar.gz files.
I looked at CPAN::DistroBuilder...and it seems like a good idea.
However, I have not figured out to force CPAN to look at file URLs.
Ideally, I would like to keep a local copy of the CPAN modules and just
use this for the people. We are behind a firewall, and i want to avoid
anything like configuring CPAN for them....I just wanna dumb it down to
the point that they gotta think zippo (or as near as possible) for
installation. Yes, I have read the docs and googled. But I can only
find allusions to what I want to do, no concrete examples....
Thanks in advance,
Ward
