Non-perl dependencies may be handled by
Alien::Base.
Automated testing is performed by CPAN Testers,
although some failed tests may not include helpful debugging information or a responsive human contact.
The goal is to simplify and stabilize installation of CPAN distributions.

ACCESS POINTS: OS PACKAGES
Your Favorite Operating System
Installing normal CPAN distributions requires a system administrator.
Installing complex CPAN distributions may require a Perl developer.
Pre-built packages for specific operating systems provide an easier & more reliable installation mechanism.
The goal is to build OS packages for every CPAN distribution.

ACCESS POINTS: CONTAINERS
All In One
Deploying complex Perl software onto a customer's platorm may be prohibitively difficult.
Several issues may impede Perl software, such as:
Security Restrictions
Package Installation Policies
Read-Only File Systems
Lack Of GNU Compiler Toolchain
Not Perl-Friendly Operating Systems
Container platforms such as Docker provide an almost fool-proof deployment mechanism.
The goal is to streamline container deployment for Perl.

ACCESS POINTS: VM IMAGES
Virtually Painless
Virtual machine platforms are similar to containers for Perl purposes.
Each VM image contains the same application software as a container.
VM images also contain a full operating system and possibly settings to control
virtual hardware devices.
VM platforms such as VirtualBox provide a
virtually fool-proof deployment mechanism.

ACCESS POINTS: THE CLOUD
Atmosphere Of Ease
Cloud platforms may provide a blank slate to install & deploy Perl.
Cloud platforms may also provide pre-built systems for ease of use.
Any Perl installation or deployment mechanism may be used:
Manual Source Code Compilation
CPAN Distributions
Operating System Packages
Containers
Virtual Machine Images
Some Perl-friendly Cloud platforms already have a Perl SDK.
The goal is to streamline cloud deployment for Perl.
