For Perl, I just do a complete build (hopefully scripted!) into /usr/local and manage it with CPAN. There are some packages, like RT, that require so many additional modules that it's just easier to maintain a local perl than it is to work with the system-installed version. So standard scripts can still reference /usr/bin/perl, but scripts with extensive local dependencies use /usr/local/bin/perl. -- Paul Heinlein <> heinlein at madboa.com <> www.madboa.com
