Hi guys,
I don't post much here, but I read everything, and have found much of
the recent discussions of particular interest.
What I have been looking for is to be able to do with Perl what can be
simply done in PHP. (albiet much uglier with PHP)
The apps I write hardly ever end up running on a
The short answer is you can just include whatever modules you want to
use from CPAN in the distribution right along with your script, provided
they are Pure Perl modules that don't require compilation (with a little
work you could probably figure out how to include binaries for a given
program
Hi franki,
I sympathize with your situation. I've been there. However, I must agree
with Stephen's answer. Package the set of modules you love and upload it
with your cgi apps. This not only gives you control over what modules
you use but also provides you with a buffer should the ISP upgrade a
I agree with Stephen here. There are many projects out there that
come pre-bundled with their own copies of CPAN modules to solve just
this problem. You just run the install script and it does all of the
work for you. If you've done your homework on dependencies it won't

I agree with what Stephen is suggesting here as it is definately the
right way to go, but please remember to check the license of all of the
modules that you include in your distribution if you go this route. I

I don't think CGI::App's design is good enough. Using run modes is
useful and helps a lot to clearly define functions of a web
application. But what I don't understand why not make return value passing
purely data-oriented. Then, people don't need to mess with code
and data within blocks
