Hello, i am trying to help someone who has no internet access to setup and run Koha on a fresh box. i break the install process into four major pre-requisites: Installing the OS, Apache, and MySQL, and lastly, getting the Perl modules While we can manage the first three relatively easily, its the fourth one (Perl modules) that i need help with. One ("brute force"?) approach i thought i'd try is to just copy over the contents of the Perl paths that contain the modules from my own running install of Koha. (The modules are at /usr/lib/perl5 and /usr/local/lib/perl5). If the OS and everything else is pretty similar, there is some chance this will work, given that the modules were compiled for a similar architecture (an x86 PC)? i haven't tried this yet, but before i do, i am sure there are better ways to do this. For e.g., cpan still has the sources for all the modules i fetched at /root/.cpan/sources Perhaps, i can compile and install cpan from scratch on the new box, copy over the sources, and give CPAN a "local file url" (like file://...?) to go look for stuff? Or is it possible to (temporarily and relatively easily) create a CPAN mirror on a box on the local network? Otherwise there are perhaps just too many modules and dependencies required to satisfy them to try and do this one at a time. Also, i hear there's a way to get a "tarball" of modules for specific needs, has someone tried doing one for Koha? Or can i create one from what i already have? Hoping to hear some good useful advice from you all, as always. This one's for you, Prashant... Thanks and regards, krishnan mani Pune, India Add more friends to your messenger and enjoy!
