I'm assuming you're still working in an environment that uses the customer's OS version of Perl.

For our (large) product, I insisted we build and bundle our own Perl (along with a carefully selected set of stable, well-respected CPAN modules). Had I been ordered instead to use the system Perl, I'd have used Perl only for smallish Unix shell scripts - and, like you, would've avoided non-core CPAN modules like the plague. That is, we'd probably have written all of our large complex components in C++, not Perl.

I might add that in our bundled Perl, we only bundled large, solid CPAN modules, like DBI, not small convenience modules, like File::Slurp. I'm happy to avoid the dependency cost by rolling my own file slurper, less keen to roll my own DBI. :)

See also the "Dependencies" section at Writing Solid CPAN Modules.

Update: As an aside, I stumbled upon RFC: Private CPAN In A Box by Perl::Critic creator jthalhammer (where he relates his experiences building private CPANs, aka Darkpans, for customers; RPM Package Manager was also mentioned).

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
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.
