Building my own CPAN repository
Hi there , im not sure whether im in the right section, but because im talking about perl, i guess this is the right place :-)

I have a whole host (thousands in fact) of Solaris machines that are running different versions of perl with different module sets etc.


I wanted to know whether it was possible for me to set up my own 'internal' CPAN mirror that i can update with all 5.x modules so that i can go to each of my hosts and point it to my new CPAN repository to get updated or new modules ? (regardless if the host is running perl 5.005_03 or 5.10.0) As you can guess, my machines do not have direct access to the internet

I guess the other question would be, Can i use this internal CPAN mirror to actually upgrade perl on my system? i have a few machines that are running

Code:
This is perl, version 5.005_03 built for sun4-solaris

It would be nice if i could get them all to the latest 5.10 perl without major hassle?

is any of this possible

NAME

       README.macos - Perl under Mac OS (Classic)

SYNOPSIS

       This document briefly describes perl under Mac OS (Classic).  If you are running perl under Mac OS X, you don't want to be here (unless you
       are in the Classic environment under Mac OS X).

       When we say "Mac OS" below, we mean Mac OS 7, 8, and 9, and not Mac OS X.

DESCRIPTION

       The latest perl source itself builds on Mac OS, with some additional pieces. Support for Mac OS is now in the perl core, and MacPerl is
       kept in close sync with regular perl releases.

       To build perl for Mac OS (as an MPW tool), you will need the addition of the macos subdirectory, distributed separately.  It includes extra
       source files, config files, and make files.  It also includes extra Mac-specific modules.

       To build the MacPerl application, you will also need the macperl directory, which includes the source files for creating the application
       itself.

       All of this is available from the development site, via HTTP (in the MacPerl Installer, which includes all the source and binaries) and
       anonymous CVS.

	       http://dev.macperl.org/

       The source is also in the main perl repository in the macperl branch (the 5.6 source is in the maint-5.6/macperl branch).

       You will also need compilers and libraries, all of them freely available.  These are linked to from the SourceForge site. Go that site for
       all things having to do with MacPerl development.

       MacPerl 5.6.1 and later are supported on Mac OS 8.1 and later, for 68040 and PowerPC architectures.  The MPW tool may be used on Mac OS
       7.5.5 and 68030 computers.

       MacPerl 5.2.0r4 is also available, on the CPAN and on SourceForge.  It is based on perl 5.004, and works with Mac OS 7.5.5 and 68030 com-
       puters.

AUTHOR

       perl was ported to Mac OS by Matthias Neeracher <neeracher@mac.com>.  It is currently maintained by Chris Nandor <pudge@pobox.com>.
