People *don't* really install their applications, although they should, because a reasonable developer keeps their Makefile.PL up to date and thus keeps application dependencies up to date. -dhoss -- Devin Austin http://www.codedright.net http://www.dreamhost.com/r.cgi?326568/hosting.html - Host with DreamHost! ___ List: Catalyst@lists.scsys.co.uk Listinfo: http://lists.scsys.co.uk/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/catalyst Searchable archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/catalyst@lists.scsys.co.uk/ Dev site: http://dev.catalyst.perl.org/

For me, the most important aspect of actually doing an installation is having dependencies get pulled in automatically. For example, if you're doing automatic continuous integration testing, or automatically building local::libs or debian packages for deployment on lots of machines, you've got to have some kind of automation for dependencies.

[Catalyst] catalyst.pl-generated installer installs MyApp/root in same dir as MyApp/lib/*?
The Module::Install code generated by catalyst.pl puts MyApp/root into blib/lib/MyApp/root, right alongside all the things from MyApp/lib. Is this actually the Right Thing to do? Seems fishy to put the templates and images and such in the same place as the perl modules. In the pod for File::ShareDir (which I perused after reading on dhoss's blog about where he's thinking of putting the helper templates), I read that static data for modules are supposed to go in the module's 'auto' directory.
