This isn't specific to perl, but if Larry does it maybe it will catch on... I tend to compile things on one machine, then shuffle the binaries around to several others using whatever means happens to be handy. It would make the process much easier if the "install" option of the Makefile wrote an "install.log" containing the full pathnames of the files as they are installed. This list could then be used to create a cpio file for binary distribution or editted into something more complicated. I often compile versions for at least two machine types in the same source directory over RFS mounts, so anything more complicated than a list of installed names is likely to fail.
