Hi List,

 

Does anybody have recommendations for installing a bunch of perl modules
that aren't in RPM?  We have a few that require some custom compile
settings.  Currently, I'm doing a painful process of installing on a
clean machine, compiling and installing, then making a tar ball from the
output of "make install".  Then during post-install, copying and
un-tarring them onto the new system.

 

This gets us by for now, but is horribly non-maintainable for future
upgrades.  What's the "best practice" for installing custom-compiled
perl modules, or modules that are not pre-packaged in RPM's.

 

Thanks!
