How can I package sqlite with my Perl for Windows application?

I need to set up sqllite for Perl on a Windows box. However - Perl is probably being run over the network from a central server, and I do not kn开发者_JAVA技巧ow what modules will be available on initial running of my script.

I can guarantee Perl 5.8+ (activestate) or Perl 5.10+ (strawberry).

Therefore, I need to package sqlite & the associated Perl module(s) in the project directory itself. Having Goggled around, I don't see any immediate zipfile to do this.

DBD::SQLite is included into Strawberry (any version) and ActivePerl (AFAIK starting from 5.8.8 build 820). For other modules you can use PAR::Packer to package into .exe.

The DBD::SQlite distribution should have everything you need for SQLite. It comes with the Perl interface and all the SQLite stuff you need. You'll also need the basic DBI package too.

However, I encourage you to set up whatever application you have to install as a Perl distribution with dependencies, etc. Then you just install your application as a Perl module with the normal Perl tools. You specify whatever you need in the tool configuration at installation time. That way you aren't creating some new system that you have to explain to other Perl programmers, create new tools for, or maintain in some odd way.

You can even set up your own internal mini-CPAN with just the modules you need so you can control it within your network. See, for instance, my DPAN stuff.
