We're redeploying Perl at our company. Thus far we'll probably install
Perl 5.8.0 into /opt/perl580 (and later versions into similar
directories). We'll also start using ingy's only module for better
testing and fallback support. A proposal about C libraries has
also been launched about where to put the C libraries that the Perl
modules rely on.
This is the currently proposed setup:
/opt/perl580 - perl prefix
/opt/perl580/_only - only's base directory
/opt/perl580/clib - C libraries used by this Perl.
What are the pros and cons of putting C libraries under this directory?
Would it be better to use a tool like Gnu stow instead? Moreover, is
this a Good Idea, a Bad Idea or an Ugly Idea?
Thanks,
J
