Perl and Perl Module Administration in the Modern Era

The Perl provided by your OS is ancient (yes, it is) and probably broken. We can fix that. Most of your programming problems are probably solved by a Perl module from CPAN, but if you don't know what that is, or how to install modules from it, you'll never use it. We can fix that as well. You've got production code that needs to keep running, but you still want to forge on with modern tools and approaches. We can help with that as well.
This talk provides a rapid introduction to perlbrew, cpanminus, and local::lib.

3. The Tao of Perl management Managing Perl and its modules need not be complicated. There are three tools (and maybe fewer) that you need to know about: perlbrew – manage Perl and libraries of Perl Modules cpanm – install Perl modules from CPAN (and beyond) local::lib – manage local Perl Modules Diab Jerius (SAO) Managing Perl & Perl Modules Code Coffee 2013-03-20 3 / 25
4. perlbrew What does it do? perlbrew handles most aspects of managing Perl installations. It can manage multiple versions of Perl install or upgrade Perl (in place!) temporarily or permanently switch your current version of Perl manage separate collections of modules (e.g. development versus production). It works best under POSIX-like shells (bash, zsh, etc.) Diab Jerius (SAO) Managing Perl & Perl Modules Code Coffee 2013-03-20 4 / 25
5. perlbrew When to use it? Use perlbrew for . . . Installing a modern Perl if your system Perl is old or broken Freezing environments for legacy code. Testing/Developing against different versions of Perl Separating libraries of modules for production and development Creating throwaway sandbox environments.
