The following module was proposed for inclusion in the Module List:
modid: Software::Packager
DSLIP: cdpOp
description: Common API for packaging software

rationale:
The Software::Packager modules provide a common API for packaging
software in many formats. The name space was chosen as it is self
explanitory as to what the module does.
This module attempts to provide as common an interface as possible
for the packaging of software in many packaging formats. The present
list of packaging systems to be supported includes: Tar -
implemeneted. creates tar files. AIX - Implimentation phase. creates
IBM lpp packages Dec_osf - under development. creates Digital/Tru64
UNIX software kits Solaris - Implimentation phase. creates solaris
packages HPUX - under development. creates software distributor
media Darwin - Implimentation phase. creates MacOS X packages
Mswin32 - under development. creates MicroSoft Installer media Perl
- under development. creates Perl packages of the kind we all use
tinstall modules RPM - under development. creates RedHat Package
Manager packages. Dpkg - under development. creates Debian Package
Manager packages. Oracle - under development. creates Oracle
installer packagers. Zip - under development. creates zip files.
Where possible native perl methods are used. i.e. the Tar module
uses Archive::Tar to create tar files. For other systems the module
is a wrapper around the packaging systems own interface.
consequently many of these packaging systems are only available on
there respective platforms.
