How to set up local repository for PPM?

Question

I am using Active Perl and am looking for ways to set up a local repository to install various modules. Main reason behind is the production server has no internet access.

Can anyone point me any quick start or step-by-step tutorials on this?

Answer 1

• There is a tutorial on how to install from a local repository (manually) here
• There are descriptions how someone did it here (perlmonks) and here (perl.com)

To use the GUI ppm manager most likely requires a httpd (a.k. web server) that gives PPM access to the *.ppd and *.tgz files over http. I'm not sure I'd choose that over doing it from the command line.
