CPAN::SHell->expand

2001-03-21 Thread Martin Moss
All When using CPAN::Shell->expand within a perl script to install modules directly off CPAN, is there a way to force the install to 'follow' prerequisite Modules? Regards Marty ___ Perl-Win32-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://listserv.Acti

ops. ok I worked it out I changed the following code in the loop. foreach my $mod ( @modules ) { $string="require $mod"; eval {eval ($string);}; if ($@) { my $obj = CPAN::Shell->expand('Module',$mod); $obj->install } }

[Perl-unix-users] Checking if a module is installed

2001-03-21 Thread Martin Moss
All, I've devised the following script to check if a CPAN module is installed on a machine, and install it if it isn't. The only problem is, the eval always fails and says it can't find the module, and thus always installs it. Also if I use "use" instead of "Require" it gives me compilation errors

I guess you could use 'top' in a unix window. Then kick off 1 drone only and look at the memory usage. Then * it by the number of processes you expect. 55 is a lot of processes On Any unix system. Perhaps you could stagger the number of processes. so maybe spawn 30 drones and have each drone

I'm sure this comes up frequently, so I apoligize... I am designing a system to process almost 4000 remote sites in a nightly sweep. This process is controlled from a database which maintains site status in realtime (or at least that's the goal). I am attempting to fork off around 100 "drones"
