Possible to distribute software via CPAN? #137

Closed dspruell closed 8 years ago

dspruell commented 8 years ago

SquidAnalyzer is a fairly simple/lightweight Perl project. Would it be possible/easy to package it for distribution and installation via CPAN? This would make it simpler for certain deployment situations and could streamline installation in cases such as deployment via Ansible (using Ansible's cpanm module, for example).

Sorry for the response delay.

SquidAnalyzer is not just a Perl Module, it is an full application, it can not been added to CPAN. At least this is my understanding of CPAN.

Best regards,

I don't think that's the case. There are some fairly large and complex software in CPAN, like for example Catalyst which is a feature rich MVC web application framework. SquidAnalyzer is a fairly typical CPAN app, basically the module and some supporting files... I think it would work good.
