This time around, I want to develop them as CPAN modules. Except: A lot of this is pretty simple, straightforward stuff, and I feel there's at least a fair chance some of it already exists, at least in a form that's close enough to what I'm looking for. I have rolled through the thousands of CPAN modules, but there's a good chance I'm missing some possible duplication. My question: what's the best way for me to, given some simple tests and/or descriptions, find out if there's already some modules out there? This seems like a lazy request, and perhaps it is, but I'm asking the question in case there is such a resource. Thanks!

The CPAN shell does nothing but wrap the usual incantation: perl Makefile.PL make make test make install I do not expect that this will work better but it makes it more obvious where you have to tweak things: with parameters to 'perl Makefile.PL'. You will find the ExtUtils::MakeMaker documentation indispensable. When your default compiler is not the right one you will most probably need more than one such parameter. For a start I'd try perl Makefile.PL CC=yourcc Good luck, -- andreas http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.cpan.discuss/2013/01/msg653.html Wed, 16 Jan 2013 04:39:54 +0000 needing to change default compiler? by Christopher Howard Hi. I'm not even going to pretend to be a Perl programmer (I used it years ago once.)

PAUSE (the Perl Authors Upload Server) refuses to index such files because they pose a security hazard on the end user. The usual procedure for pause is to provide a replacement file without world writables that then can be indexed.

Thanks for the response. That man page section seems to assume that you want the whole CPAN on portable media. But the machine already has a full CPAN installed - I don't want to replace it, I want to add to it. So it doesn't make sense to change keep_source_where, I want to point CPAN or some tool to the module .tar.gz files I want to add, and get them installed. http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.cpan.discuss/2011/12/msg623.html Sat, 03 Dec 2011 21:26:58 +0000 Re: Offline CPAN use by andreas.koenig.7os6VVqR >>>>> On Sat, 03 Dec 2011 02:23:45 -0800, nimectos <tt4g-xtsy@dea.spamcon.org> said: > nimectos <tt4g-xtsy@dea.spamcon.org> wrote: >> andreas.koenig.7os6VVqR@franz.ak.mind.de (Andreas J.

Now I am at another phase: a machine built this way needs a few more CPAN modules installed, and has no network access. How do I install? If I had network access I would do e.g.: cpan List::Util List::MoreUtils XML::Simple So I tried: cpan Scalar-List-Utils-1.23.tar.gz which doesn't work; then I tried: cpan GBARR/Scalar-List-Utils-1.23.tar.gz which wanted network access and failed. I am aware of Mini but don't need a mirror - I just need a reasonably simple way to add a few more Perl modules to a unit that already has many modules installed via cpan. Perhaps I actually need some tool other than cpan for this purpose and am just not aware of it. http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.cpan.discuss/2011/12/msg621.html Sat, 03 Dec 2011 02:24:14 +0000 Re: [Perldl] Troubles with CPAN indexing of PDL::NetCDF andPDL::Graphics::PLplot by Doug Hunt Hi again, Andreas: After the latest mirror update, now my cpan command shows the correct index: $ cpan ... cpan[2]> reload index CPAN: Storable loaded ok (v2.22) Going to read '/home/cosmicops/.cpan/Metadata' Database was generated on Tue, 29 Nov 2011 03:32:34 GMT ... cpan[3]> i /PDL::NetCDF/ Module id = PDL::NetCDF DESCRIPTION Reads/Writes NetCDF files from/to PDL objs CPAN_USERID DHUNT (Douglas Hunt <dhunt@ucar.edu>) CPAN_VERSION 4.15 CPAN_FILE D/DH/DHUNT/PDL-NetCDF-4.15.tar.gz DSLIP_STATUS RdcOp (released,developer,C,object-oriented,Standard-Perl) INST_FILE (not installed) Very cool!
