Hi all,
Just curious how some of you provision perl to RT. I am running over my
server-distro’s apache2/perl, and during a recent upgrade the system perl
was moved forward and suddenly my modules disappeared. I was able to patch
it up without too much trouble, but did find myself debating rolling my own
perl/mod_perl so I could roll the distro forward in the future without
having to worry about blowing up RT again.
Just curious how some of you approach this detail.
Thanks in advance,
-Rob
I have successfully setup RT using local::lib to store all the
dependancies that perl needs outside of the system’s perl libs.
So far, it has worked quite well.
You have to be careful to set it up before you start running all the
commands so that it looks for the libs in the right place, as well as
using the right install paths for the new installed modules out of cpan.
Use this:
eval perl -Mlocal::lib=/opt/rt4/perl5
To get CPAN to install in that location, and setup perl to look there for
libs.
And add the following to apache’s config:
PerlOptions +Parent
PerlSwitches -I/opt/rt4/perl5/lib/perl5
I expect you can use something like perlbrew to setup the whole toolchain
to do the same…
Thanks,
Jok

perlbrew + a fastcgi deployment (so you don’t need your own mod_perl)
works great.

I use the OBS (open(suse) build sevice) perl repository for my RT system, I’m running on OpenSUSE 11.3. For RT itself I build an rpm package for it and a bunch of extensions, see links below, which are deployed from an internal repo server. I’d like to get this RT package, plus my extension packages, put into the OBS perl repo so all you’ll need to do is added the repo and “zypper in request-tracker” for SUSE systems.

Perlbrew looks exactly like what I should have used in the first place. I
feel like a bit of a noob now - thanks for the pointers!
Jok - thanks for your insightful tip about lib::local + modperl flags as
well!
Thanks again, all.
