Abstract EN: Let's face it: Application deployment is both a tedious exercise and
critical to the success of your work. Having the right deployment
strategy can save effort, money, and - most importantly - hair.
This talk is about a few approaches using the PAR modules which might
suck a little less than the alternatives.
PAR itself is well known as a tool to assemble stand-alone executables
from Perl programs and their dependencies. Maybe you also heard of the
"PAR is for Perl what JAR is for Java" mantra: PAR can create archive
files which contain everything needed to run a Perl program.
After covering strategies for application deployment, the talk will
explore some of the lesser known PAR features and tools, such as
automatic generation of binary packages from CPAN distributions and
their dependencies.
