RE: managing updates/versions of DBI on a prod box?



I have solved this problem for one configuration (Informix) as follows:
a) check with legal dept regarding licenses (e.g. Artistic)
b) build all required versions of Perl, DBI, DBD on one machine
c) build tar files for Perl, DBI, DBD
d) work installation of those tar files into the installation process

Steps b) and c) involve using e.g.
$ make install DESTDIR=/tmp/local
as suggested in the INSTALL file for Perl. You can then construct a tar
file from that directory. For each machine someone (or some script) has
to untar it into /usr/local.

Subject: managing updates/versions of DBI on a prod box?


Hi List;

I'm looking for suggestions per managing the same version of
DBI on dev,
QA & Prod environments. I've thought about RPM's but I dont find the
latest version of DBI for RHEL4. Maybe perl -MCPAN but this seems to
always give me the latest, I want to ensure the same version
is propogated
from Dev to QA TO Prod...

Thanks in advance for your advice.
