Are there any programs besides CPAN to install / compile perl modules and install them?
Basically I am looking for something like Activestate PPM, closest I could find PPM on CPAN , but when I try to fix it crash for some “unknown” reason. I am sure that if I dig up the result, I could find why, but it is mostly Greek for me to make mistakes.
Anyway, is there anything? It would be nice if it had a GTK interface due to the use of GNOME on Ubuntu, and it would be nice to play with the new modules.
What I really want is the ability to install and remove modules on the command line at least.
Also, is it possible for a script to install a perl module? For example, when someone installs my .DEB package, is there a way to extract the source code from CPAN (using CPAN , if necessary) and build it for the system?
