The use case, many servers (1000) in a commercial environment. We have no direct access to the internet, and we have to use a vetted source for CPAN on a local fileshare, not public repos via FTP or HTTP. We could bring up a local HTTP repo, but would prefer to use fileshare
local::lib doesn't help there. It's used to locate installed modules; it's not a means of fetching uninstalled distributions. You want minicpan to create a local CPAN.
Note: I avoid local::lib because it uses the INSTALL_BASE scheme which causes problems when you upgrade your Perl. PREFIX + LIB is the way to go. Or you can do what I do and install Perl itself locally using perlbrew.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
