Is this a bad approach? Would it be better to just keep using the source module files (*.pm) directly without modulizing them, and just come up with some way to handle unit tests, rather than use the h2xs-generated framework?

Yes. You have nothing to gain by making separate installations unless you intend to use these modules in separate places. I don't really understand the problem with the unit tests. You can make as many tests as you want and they can test anything you want. I have a whole bunch of different test files in my current project, all testing different modules, and they all just sit in my t/ directory.

what is a good way to determine which version of each module is currently installed on a system?

Add a $VERSION variable to each module.

what is a good way to handle the build process so that only those modules that have been modified are rebuilt? I can do a CVS update of the module sources on each system, but I need some way to determine which modules need to be re-built and re-installed.

This is an example of why you shouldn't split these up. Your global Makefile idea would probably work though.

to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":


  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
