I briefly had one up at GSI while exploring minimal enterprise linux distributions. It's just an FTP or HTTP server with files in the right places, and there are tools to help set it up. It's an excellent way to centrally manage enterprise software distribution, of course including Perl modules but you can package anything else (RPMs, BSD ports, shared configuration file updates) in CPAN format if you want. And of course there's the security promise of a single point of code entry for auditing, if you're seriously worried that Mark Jason Dominus or such is going to try to leverage CPAN to tunnel through your perimeter. _______________________________________________ kc mailing list [email protected] http://mail.pm.org/mailman/listinfo/kc
