I have an AMD64 machine running Ubuntu 8.04 with a _lot_ of
perl modules installed. I have a need to replicate the same
set of libraries on a different box running a later version
of Ubuntu - probably 10.04 but possibly 10.10. However the
new box will be a 32-bit version, not the 64 bit system I am
running here.
Now I could settle in for a long session in front of a
perl -MCPAN -e shell prompt and pull stuff across manually.
However, this would take a long time and I would probably
miss a few modules.
I also expect that some will break, some will need hacking
and some will have been obsoleted - the original install
is a few years old.
Is there a more reliable way I could audit the modules I
have on the original box and have the same modules installed
on the new system? If it took care of dependencies, that
would be even better.
with thanks
