Yes, and there are several ways to do it, including ones that I think are called PAR and PPM, but they should be able to build on the work we've done with Makefile.PL and they really need to be built on a stable release.
I will investigate PAR and PPM, whatever they are. I have looked at Bundle and it looks pretty brain dead IMHO.
However, some of the modules involve compiled code will be different on each binary platform. Also, some systems (debian, Fedora, Strawberry Perl, more?) have their own ways of bundling modules together which avoids having multiple maybe-incompatible versions on the system at the same time. Hopefully they can build on Makefile.PL too and we don't have to keep updating INSTALL.debian, INSTALL.fedora and so on forever: those files mostly suck time and should slowly die.
One solution is to use a different location for the set of Perl modules used by Koha. This avoids any entanglements with existing Perl installations on the box. It is a very clean soln :) cheers rickw -- ________________________________________________________________ Rick Welykochy || Praxis Services || Internet Driving Instructor A lifetime of listening to disco music is a high price to pay for one's sexual preference. -- Quentin Crisp _______________________________________________ Koha-devel mailing list Koha-devel@lists.koha.org http://lists.koha.org/mailman/listinfo/koha-devel
