What are your "Shipping" problems?

Well... just to be "devil's advocate" I'll bite on that one. Just in my own little world at work I have troubles "shipping" code from one machine to another. Quite often code that I develop and test very thoroughly on one machine explodes due to missing modules on another machine depending on wheather or not the admins on the target machine have been diligent in keeping their CPAN module list up to date.

While I have developed standards for what belongs on machines, what version of Perl to install, etc. etc. some folks just don't listen until there's a probelm.

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.
