It is also mine, but about 30 of the packages our code uses are not
found in the CentOS RPMs. I've been looking at every imaginable way
to manage CPAN nicely, and it just seems like a mess. I've even
subscribed to the cpan mailing list and ask there, and they do not
seem to have any clean solutions that will allow me manage CPAN across
a network without having to go through the 50 questions routine for
each machine (e.g. autobundle). I even tried expect to take care of
that, but no luck. Also cpan::mini to make my own repository. Tried
manually building. Still cannot find something. So I picked up
puppet again (something I want to get going even if I cannot find a
way for it to manage my CPAN mess)
But back to your point - if I could do this with yum I would be the
happiest guy in the world! It would be so easy to do, and I could add
it to my kickstart files.
There were a few new ideas in this thread which I have not yet seen -
so I'll see where they lead me.
thanks all,
-Alan
