Is it possible to transfer a list of Perl installed packages to another machine and mark for installation in ActiveState's ActivePerl?


So we are migrating servers. Arghh. There is a lot of Perl stuff on one machine that we need to set up on another one.

Is there a way to export / import a list of all packages that are installed so that I can install them on the new server instead of looking up one by one? (using ActivePerl)


Solution

  • If you are using ppm, you can use ppm profile commands. You can store a list of installed packages via

    ppm profile save my_modules.xml
    

    and restore on another machine with

    ppm profile restore my_modules.xml
