Martin,

What you have sounds interesting.

Could you send me a copy of Perllib.pl?

Thanks,

Scott Smith

Sure. This is what I use to allow me to switch between a development
environment and a production environment. Also included are three sets
of libraries: standard (i.e. from cpan), adhoc (for stuff that
I write or from friends, and override (that which is supplied in the
standard distribution but I consider broken.). Arguably, the
override directory should be versioned in line with the distribution of
perl. This allows me to incorporate new versions of libraries very
easily.

I have a command that alters my environment without me needing to
edit anything - it alters the Windows Registry but could equally
alter a symlink or change a file to alter variables that control
my environment.

c:\win32app\
       perl5\ (original, untouched version)

       perl-extra-libs\
               dev\
                       adhoc\
                       override\
                       standard\
                               LWP\
                               IO\
               prod\
                       adhoc\
                       override\
                       standard\
                               LWP\
                               IO\

I use the command 'perllib' thus:

       perllib prod prod dev           (standard from prod,
                                        adhoc from prod &
                                        override from dev)

Simple, but really handy for managing multiple environments.

I'll send Perllib.pl if anyone is interested.

Regards,
       Martin.
