A simple scripts that handles setting up:
- Environment.
- Downloads cpm if missing.
- Installs all dependencies to a project local folder
- Checks for perl compile errors
- Removes non .pm files from local lib
- Runs perlstrip on all files.
Create your cpanfile with all required modules.
A good start is:
requires 'App::FatPacker';
requires 'Perl::Strip';Now run it like this.
./run-fatpacker myapp.plIf you have a git repo for your project the script will add cpm as a submodule.
If all goes well you will end up with a new file called myapp.packed.pl which includes all your dependencies.
