I was attempting to synchronize my development/test environment with the actual production environment and the autobundle option in the CPAN.pm module wasn't working the way I thought it would.

Here is the setup:
We have a development network (1 server, 4 workstations) that has had many Perl modules installed to facilitate our system. I was using the CPAN.pm module to do all admining of said modules. Well... I was under the impression I could take the snapshot file created bycpan> autobundleand place it into the production network ( 40 workstations ) and runperl -MCPAN 'install Bundle::Snapshot_2000_05_30_00'But it doesn't work completely. I had to install a few by hand. So I pose the question:
Does anyone have some wisdom to share regarding keeping the modlist sync'd between dev and production environments?

TIA

• 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).
