Re: [Catalyst] on the topic of PAR file distribution, why is it frowned upon?

2010-02-26 Thread Robert Buels
I've actually had pretty good results deploying my web apps with 
Shipwright.  The docs and the code are rough, but it actually works 
pretty well.


It sputters a bit on configure-requires and on some of the stranger 
cases of dependencies, but sounds like it works better than PAR.


Anybody else tried Shipwright?

[Catalyst] catalyst.pl-generated installer installs MyApp/root in same dir as MyApp/lib/*?

2009-06-08 Thread Robert Buels
The Module::Install code generated by catalyst.pl puts MyApp/root into 
blib/lib/MyApp/root, right alongside all the things from MyApp/lib.  Is 
this actually the Right Thing to do?  Seems fishy to put the templates 
and images and such in the same place as the perl modules.


In the pod for File::ShareDir (which I perused after reading on dhoss's 
blog about where he's thinking of putting the helper templates), I read 
that static data for modules are supposed to go in the module's 'auto' 
directory.  Link: 
http://search.cpan.org/~adamk/File-ShareDir-1.00/lib/File/ShareDir.pm


So, if I understand rightly, shouldn't the MyApp/root be going into 
blib/auto/MyApp/root instead of blib/MyApp/root ?

Just have your controller base class set:

Can you do something similar if using Mason?

Ditto.  For me, the most important aspect of actually doing an 
installation is having dependencies get pulled in automatically.  For 
example, if you're doing automatic continuous integration testing, or 
automatically building local::libs or debian packages for deployment on 
lots of machines, you've got to have some kind of automation for 
dependencies.

I'm interested in making a pluggable app as well.  Seems like you and I 
would want the ability to specify an arrayref for MyApp->config->{root}, 
and have that work.  Poking around cursorily, that doesn't seem to be 
supported right now.  Can somebody who knows what they're talking about 
(i.e. not me) confirm?
