I was thinkg another day about some deployment problems I used to have with Perl applications. In my opinion, compared with other languages (Java, .Net) Perl was getting behind in this issue, but today I found out it wasn’t true.
PAR is already here, with this package we can put all application’s dependence files in a single compacted archive and deploy it to the final user. Use such thing at enterprise environment must be something really good and productive.
Perl community should be aware of thing like this and advocate more about Perl advantages, maturity and capacity to adequate changes.
When I start using this package at my development site I´ll put some more news here.
