Hi,
I need to repack a Dancer-based site as a CPAN module. I remember seeing a bit of documentation about this somewhere but I can't find it at the moment.
Any pointers to documentation or an example on how to do this?
Thanks in advance,
I am also interested what other have to say about this but till some better answer comes along let me give you my 2c. As I understand many people who build CPAN-ish modules from web applications don't "INSTALL" it usin a cpan client. They install all the dependencies and then just unzip the tar.gz file of the actual application and configure the web server to use those file. I have been doing this too but with CPAN::Digger I decided I'll try to make it installable. The strategy I am trying to take is that during installation Makefile.PL copies the view/ the schema/ and the environments/ to the /share directory and then, using the "install_share" command of "Module::Install I make sure they are installed. Then I can use File::ShareDir in my code to access thos installed files. Gabor
