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?

Can you specify an installation prefix dir? ie /usr/local/mysoftware
then you can simply use readdir() to get list of files in that
directory.
