I think I see what you're saying. It seems like a very expensive
problem to solve. It must be a barrier to people choosing mod_perl to
develop their apps because it might be the case that their
distribution and installation process is more complex to develop and

Whenever I creating shrink-wrapped software I always make packaging
and distribution part of the development, qa and testing process. All
packages for the platforms that we will be supporting. The reason I
do this is to cut down on the customer support overhead. I've found

Great answer, Steve.
I have the same issue as the OP, and unfortunately, as you point out,
there is no free lunch once the application is other than trivial.

Hi Mike,
The information you provided indicates that you have determined your
customer base for this application might not always have a dedicated IT
