My recommendation would be to build your own internal repository. If you download the module files and tweak the .ppd file ( I always change the file location from an absolute to a path relative to the .ppd), you can just put them all in a directory structure on a server internal to your network.
I use a script that iterates across all the .ppd files in that directory and does a ppm query first, followed by either a ppm verify --upgrade, or a ppm install. You can periodically run this on any server to "refresh" your modules in your install. Some modules are pure Perl, some were only written to run on a limited platform range, others include binaries - so you can't blindly use them. For Linux, using a separate structure will be easiest, though you could modify the .ppd's to have a different path to each set of files I believe. -----Original Message----- From: Carroll, Shawn [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, September 19, 2002 7:45 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: Timothy Johnson; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Dave Roth's web site While we're on the topic of modules... I've managed to accumulate modules from many different places, and they're all installed on one machine. I want the same modules on a different machine. Rather than get them from a bunch of different repositories all over again, what's the best way to replicate the modules on the new machine? Is it as simple as copying over a directory? Or are they "registered" or otherwise installed somehow? Also, anything to worry about if the modules are copied from a Win32 machine to a Linux machine?
