[root@gan] perl -MAcme::Intraweb -c anyscript.pl ------------------------------------------------------ This is a really cute way to handle the dependencies. Of course, there should be some disvantages. I think that have no control over what modules dependencies are or aren't installed is a bad thing. What do you think about this? A good deployment environment must have dependency control? Is it possible to to have no control over the deployment environment and still assuring the software quality? Thank you all for your opinions. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Luis Campos de Carvalho Computer Science Student OCP DBA Oracle & Unix Sys Admin =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
