As seen on #catalyst today...

Someone was asking for something like this a while back. Was it Dave?

[16:34]  <robkinyon> For those interested, I've released  
Perl::Install to CPAN
[18:28]  <__robkinyon> jrockway: it's a set of scripts that automates  
the installation of a specific version of Perl and all the CPAN  
modules you specify
[18:28]  <__robkinyon> The idea is that you specify a directory and a  
list of modules to install from CPAN and go get coffee
[18:28]  <__robkinyon> come back in 30min and it's ready to go
[18:29]  <__robkinyon> very useful for production systems where you  
want to have multiple versions of Perl, each corresponding to a  
different installation of the app
[18:29]  <__robkinyon> also very useful for authors to have multiple  
Perls to test against
[18:29]  <__robkinyon> and not just multiple versions of Perl, but  
different CPAN installations


search.cpan.org should have it indexed by tomorrow(?). Tonight you  
can use PAUSE incoming:
