I'm interested to learn how to package CPAN modules for .rpm and .deb -- moreover, I'd like to learn how such packaging should be done in order to comply with the distribution's internal dependency system. Another interesting issue is the ability to install such packages in a "sandbox" or in my homedire rather than globally for the system. So, I'm interested in the above mentioned issues -- so if this is what you had in mind you got my attention, and I think that several others in F5 will also be interested in this. > I would be really glad to have a meeting (in June ?) where we can learn this. I vote for it. I can even suggest two CPAN modules as example for "should be a breeze" and "should be a nightmare" :-) The first one is Convert::Binary::C and the other is goold old XML::Twig. (who will teach how to do this??? what happens if we all come to learn this but no one actually knows how to do this?) -- Shlomo Yona [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://yeda.cs.technion.ac.il/~yona/ _______________________________________________ Perl mailing list [email protected] http://perl.org.il/mailman/listinfo/perl
