cpan

I have Perl 5.13.4 with a large collection of installed CPAN modules. I have just compiled Perl 5.14.0. I'd like to install (recompile) all the modules in 5.13.4 into 5.14.0. I can/have generated a bundle of the installed modules with 'cpanp' and the 'b' option; I now have a file ~/.cpanplus/5.13.4/dist/autobundle/Snapshot_2011_05_18_00.pm . What is the command to use in the 5.14.0 version of 'cpanp' that will go through that snapshot bundle and ensure 5.14.0 has all those modules installed? Or, if the combination of cpanp and a bundle isn't the appropriate way to go, what is the easiest way

This is a follow-up to my previous question about developing Perl applications . Let’s say I develop an application as a CPAN module using Module::Install . Now I upload the code to the production server, say using a git push , and I would like to install the application dependencies listed in Makefile.PL . If I simply run cpan . , the thing tries to install the application like a regular Perl module, ie. starts to copy the modules and documentation to standard Perl directories all over the system. Is this the way it’s supposed to be? Do you install the application into the standard Perl

Is the a way to use Perl 5 modules from CPAN from Rakudo Perl 6? For example, how can I use the venerable Perl 5 module, CGI, which hasn't been ported yet, in Perl 6. Update: And what this funky code from some early Perl 6 module: use CGI:from<perl5>; Is the :from<perl5> directive used to evoke some kind of a Perl 5 compatibility layer? Can't seem to find any documentation about it. user7610 Inline::Perl5 Get it from http://modules.perl6.org/ panda install Inline::Perl5 Following example shows how to import and call Perl 5 module Text::Unidecode , "the Unicode transliteration of last resort"

I find the following anti-pattern repeated in my Perl scripts: the script contains some machine/setup specific settings which I store in-line as constants in the script whereas the rest of the script is general in nature: #!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; # machine specific settings at the start of the script. my $SETTING_1 = "foo"; my @SETTING_2 = ("123", "456"); my $SETTING_3 = "something"; # general part of script follows. ... This pattern is somewhat okay when running on one machine, but as soon as I want to distribute the script to multiple machines the trouble starts since I must

I need to install some CPAN modules in a linux box which I do not have the root privilege. The installation of Spreadsheet::WriteExcel goes quite smoothly. But the try to install File::Find::Rule failed with warning "you do not have permissions to install into ....." and hint "you may have to su to root to install the package" I'm puzzled why some CPAN module installation require root privilege while there are others do not ? and If I really want to use the File::Find::Rule in that linux box , is there any work-around solution I can choose ? thanks. Chas. Owens Have you setup CPAN for that
