CPAN::Porters Description

PAN::Porters is a resource for people maintaining packages of CPAN modules in various distributions. PAN::Porters is a resource for people maintaining packages of CPAN modules in various distributions.SYNOPSISCPAN modules can be either installed from source (downloaded directly from CPAN) or they can be installed with the package mangement system of your distribution.CPAN::Porters is a resource for people who are maintaining those packages in the various distributions.ReasoningWhen developing an application we usually don't want to build our own machine. Neither compile our own kernel. In most of the cases we won't want to compile and install our own version of a database engine nor Apache or any other 3rd party tool. So my assumption is that we won't want to install our CPAN dependencies either. Again - in the standard case.For people just using an application written in Perl it is even more important that they should not deal with all these packages. Most of us know how much people suffer when they need to install 10s of modules and their dependencies from CPAN. Especially for modules with dependencies outside of CPAN.While CPAN.pm, CPANPLUS.pm have improved a lot they still cannot deal with cases when one of the dependencies fails to install cleanly.In addition while we usually want to work with recent versions of modules from CPAN, we usually don't want to get the bleeding edge. Espcially not in applications. Requirements: · Perl
