How do you manage perl modules on a Debian system?
- by nagul
I'd like to know if you have a method for managing perl modules on your Debian system, with respect to the following:
Installing new modules
Listing of manually installed modules
Checking dependencies, and uninstalling modules
I have looked at this perlmonks article for background reading: What is the best way to install CPAN modules on Debian?
I have previously installed perl modules using the CPAN module. I have also used dh-make-perl in some cases, when following instructions to build other packages that had perl dependencies.
I'd like to institute a coherent policy on my machine so I can better manage how and where the modules are installed, and reduce the chance of breaking perl on my system. I would strongly like a system where I can detect and uninstall modules that are no longer being used.
