Working With dh-make-perl

• Can be used to package CPAN modules directly:

% dh-make-perl --cpan MODULE --build

• Downloads the module from CPAN and packages it

Note:

• I'm glossing, big time
• You can interrupt the steps of dh-make-perl to do other stuff
• Useful for tricky modules with zillions of dependencies and so on (DateTime anyone?)
• Key point: do it once for all machines

% sudo apt-get update
% sudo apt-get install libdatetime-perl
