Re: A Home For Perl Modules

This is the general problem of maintaining code across multiple machines. (Paul Graham has a few words about this when he talks about his company that became YahooStores.)

What you're going to want to do is what most commercial apps do - have a little thing that checks to see if there's an updated version on a regular basis. Either do it on startup (like Adobe) or Windows, which does it on a regular basis.

The infrastructure for the updating is to run your own CPAN server, serving up your custom modules. There are a number of nodes on Perlmonks that will give you ideas on how to do that. I know merlyn has done a column on something similar.

Being right, does not endow the right to be rude; politeness costs nothing.
Being unknowing, is not the same as being stupid.
Expressing a contrary opinion, whether to the individual or the group, is more often a sign of deeper thought than of cantankerous belligerence.
Do not mistake your goals as the only goals; your opinion as the only opinion; your confidence as correctness. Saying you know better is not the same as explaining you know better.
