Installing CPAN modules and managing their dependencies has got much easier over recent years thanks to tools like cpanm. But what about the DarkPAN, i.e. all the code that *isn't* on CPAN?

In this talk we will look at how to build our own private CPAN, upload our own DarkPAN modules, and easily mix private and public dependencies.

From this we will build cross-platform installation packages which can be used on any system with Perl installed (no external dependencies or even Internet access required).

Presented at the YAPC::Europe 2012 conference in Frankfurt, Germany.
