Cookbooks

Attributes
- perl['packages'] - platform specific packages installed by default recipe
- perl['cpanm']['path'] - platform specific path for
cpanmbinary to live - perl['cpanm']['url'] - URL to download cpanm script from
- perl['cpanm']['checksum'] - checksum for the above remote file
Usage
To install a module from CPAN:
cpan_module 'App::Munchies'
Optionally, installation can forced with the 'force' parameter.
cpan_module 'App::Munchies' force true end
You can also use cpanm's version mechanism to grab a specific version, or glob a version.
Exactly version 1.01 of App::Munchies will be installed:
cpan_module 'App::Munchies' version '== 1.01' end
At least version 1.01 of App::Munchies will be installed:
cpan_module 'App::Munchies' version '1.01' end
At least version 1.01 will be installed, but not version 2:
cpan_module 'App::Munchies' version '>= 1.01, < 2.0' end
Additionally, you can use the cpan_module LWRP to delete a given package (uses cpanm's --uninstall param)
cpan_module 'App::Munchies' action :uninstall end
