- RHEL/CentOS/Scientific/Amazon/Oracle
- Fedora
- openSUSE
- Windows
Chef
- Chef 13.4+
Cookbooks
- none
Recipes
-
default- On Linux installs perl packages and pulls cpanm from Github. On Windows installs the Strawberry Perl Chocolatey package. Requires Chocolatey to be installed prior to running this cookbook, which can be done with the chocolatey cookbook from the Supermarket.
Attributes
The cookbook ships with a sane set of platform specific attributes for installing perl as well as cpanm. There should be no need to modify these attributes to use this cookbook.
-
node['perl']['packages']- platform specific packages installed by default recipe -
node['perl']['cpanm']['path']- platform specific path forcpanmbinary to live -
node['perl']['cpanm']['url']- URL to download cpanm script from (*nix only) -
node['perl']['cpanm']['checksum']- checksum for the above remote file (*nix only) -
node['perl']['version']- version of perl to install. (windows only) -
node['perl']['cpanm']['path']- The path to the cpanm binary. On *nix systems this is where the file will be installed. On Windows it's part of Strawberry Perl so no additional installation is required. -
node['perl']['cpanm']['suppress_diff']- Whether or not to suppress the diff of the cpanm file.
Resources
cpan_module
Actions
-
:install- install the module (default action) -
:uninstall- uninstall the module
Properties
-
module_name- The name of the module if it's different than the name of the resource property -
force- To force the install within cpanm (default: false) -
test- To do a test install (default: false) -
version- Any version string cpanm would find acceptable -
cwd- A path to change into before running cpanm
Examples
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

Breaking changes
- On Windows this cookbook now uses the Chocolatey package manager to install Strawberry Perl instead of downloading the zip file and manually installing it. This does require chocolatey to first be installed on the system and will use the C:\strawberry\perl path

- Fixed cpan_module resource to work on Windows as well

- Use the latest cpanm which has 4 years of bug fixes and enhancements
5.2.1 (2017-08-30)
