I'm biased towards, when possible, distributing package content via RPM or deb ... but ideally, those too. You are free to ignore that, but those are my preferences. If a CPAN library requires libcurl and libcurl isn't installed, that's something the OS package manager can deal with for you. I like having all my dependencies in the system, in other words, and also having (where possible) only one package manager. > So how do you mean?

I prefer not to do builds on production machines. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
