Thanks for the tips. Fortunately I'm using Amazon EC2 so the majority of modules are stored on my master machine image which gets cloned. But there always seems to be "just one more module" that needs installing around the cluster after it is running. > See my "Perl in RPM-Land" talk[1] for more details.
