I'll look into see what's involved with that. In the meantime, what
I'm basically trying to do is allow a user to download our app and:
perl Build.PL --server mod_perl2
./Build
# answer a few questions
./Build test
sudo bin/httpd start
That's highly abbreviated, but I think that shows roughly the goal. Of
course, the above doesn't show the installation, but hopefully they
could run "sudo bin/httpd start" and it would restart Apache2 but with
the extra conf info available, such as where to find the mod_perl app,
extra libraries, etc.
As much as possible, I'm trying to keep all of the app info in one spot
to make for easy installation/removal of the app without touching
anything else. The more configuration I force on the end users, the
less likely it is that they'll use the system. However, I'm pretty
damned clueless about the admin side of things and not sure how easy
this goal is to attain.
