  • I'd like to see "Perl Enterprise Patterns" or something equally buzzword compliant lying on my desk.

    It would probably be an interesting read, but mostly I would just use it to subliminally fade the script/unreadable/toy/fringe aura Perl has in too many people's minds.
    • I'd like to see something along these lines, but specifically about managing Perl itself in the enterprise. I know there was a talk at OSCON about this a few years ago, and I've read the slides, but they didn't help me much. I think you had to be there.

      The book should cover how to maintain an enterprise version of perl, how to distribute it across an enterprise to multiple machines on multiple platforms. It should cover issues with upgrading, how to keep modules at correct versions, how often to upgrade modules, how often to upgrade Perl. Also, how to deal with new requests to add modules to the distribution when these modules may be unknown quantities. A QA distribution?

      I would think it would have a best practices section and a section talking about how some big companies actually do it.
