Either way, I reckon that I should possibly take this off-list, or to

Reviving an old thread here - I was wondering if you found such a
Dummies list.
you could try the debian-user mailing list, or the ubuntu equivalent.
Although I would have thought this list would be as dense a
concentration of such knowledge as you're likely to find anywhere.
sorry, punavoidable ;-)
I've subscribed. The ubuntu archives don't show anything very useful.
Debian's may be richer; I've yet to look.
I'm new to the debian/ubuntu way (I've been on FreeBSD, an OS X). I
gather there is a danger of mixing apt-get and CPAN installs. But from
my impression people usually end up with mixed installs anyway.
dh-make-perl is an option, but doesn't handle dependencies as well as
cpan.
I'm looking for strategies to handle this - particularly in the
context
of installing catalyst on ubuntu.
when I installed catalyst on etch a while back, I ended up with a mixed
install with cpanp managing the part of the install in /usr/local.
that was fine for a single-purpose 'have-a-look-see' install, but for
different purposes I might do things differently.
I'm on dapper - probably will stay there unless there is a compelling
reason to move up. I am tempted to let cpan or cpanp do it's usual
thing, but keep it all somewhere quite distinct - like /opt/local/.
Then starting from scratch is an rm -rf away.

Paddy
