Installing a perl-based web application in an extremely limited environment

Question

Since I have a long series of comments with @ikegami, I remove the question, I hope this will be more clear. Unfortunately, English is not my "main" language. :(

Say, having an environment in which:

• development tools not installed (no make, not gccand how)
• perl installed with its main packages, no more
• access to the outgoing network is unavailable. the user can not use curland cpanto download / install dependencies perl
• the user does not even have administrator rights (root)
• but want to install and evaluate some perl-based web applications, let’s call it MyApp

MyApp

• does not use the XS module. (at least, I hope - they use me in the development plenvand cpanm, therefore, they never checked the installed dependencies in depth)
• This is a clean PSGI application, simple plackup app.psgiworks fine
• The application uses some data files that must be included in the "deployment".

The main question: how to prepare MyApp, and all the used CPAN modules are easily installed in such a limited environment?

Purpose:

• I do not need to save my efforts and my time.
• but I want to save the user’s time and I want to minimize the necessary actions on his side, so the installation (deployment) should be as simple as possible.

1.) tarball, 3 1 perl- script, :

myapp_repo/
myapp_repo/distlib   #will contain all MyApp perl modules also ALL used CPAN modules and their dependecies
myapp_repo/datafiles #will contain app-specific data files and such
myapp_repo/install.pl
myall_repo/lib   #will contain modules directly used by the `install.pl`

2.) install.pl script, ,

perl install.pl new /path/to/app_root

():

• /path/to/app_root ( lib, perl)
• cpanm ( myapp_repo/lib) perl CPAN distlib.
• script app.psgi /path/to/app_root/bin
