Creating a mini-mirror with the cpan CPAN:: Mini
Online since 26/10/1995, with 17,365 modules written by 7930 authors (up to the time of writing this post), the CPAN is the official repository of Perl modules. In it we can often find hundreds of ready modules for various tasks. This is one of the facilities that make Perl programmers are so efficient.
However, the dependence of an internet connection to install new modules, is sometimes an impediment to the use of this powerful tool. But as in Perl there is always more than one way to do this post will show how to create a mini-mirror of cpan for use in environments where an Internet connection is not always possible.

At the end of the year, in a short period of pure laziness unproductive, was analyzing the data analytics and came with the keywords that led readers to the blog.
I found it cool that most of them were related to the content of the blog, or subjects on which I could have written. However, some of the attention for its uniqueness and quantity.
Time is Money
As the saying goes, time is money then I'll try not to dwell too much.
In the distant January 2008 I made an early blog posts, commenting on a post of Fábio Telles and venturing some opinions on support costs and free software. At that time itself Fábio made a rather scathing critique, but I really liked it.
Recently, this post was read again and commenting, but it was a no comment, was a super comment I reproduce below in full:
Git and github on windows
The git is an open source tool for version control of files. Its distributed architecture allows you to be more productive because it does not require a central server to receive commits.
The CVS was the first system version control with which I worked. I do not know if it was for my inexperience, but he has always been more a thorn in one tool.

Installing CPAN modules via local:: lib
Install CPAN modules on machines where you do not have permission to root is very simple. Using the module Time:: CPAN's own lib, you can create a local installation in which the modules are installed in your own home.
