I have been given a task of installing a piece of backup software, then tarring up all of the associated files in order to automate the installation onto other machines. The only way I can think of doing this is to do an ls -l on / and then doing a diff after the installation and manually adding those files to a tar command.
What I'd rather do is automate this using perl. gather a list of the files, perform the installation, getting a list of the new files by way of a diff or some such and adding all those files to a tar command or some such. Has anyone done such a thing or know of a module I should look at to achieve this?
