perl Cookbook

Build Status Cookbook Version

Manages Perl installation and provides cpan_module, to install modules from... CPAN.

Requirements

Platforms

  • Debian/Ubuntu/Mint
  • RHEL/CentOS/Scientific/Amazon/Oracle
  • Fedora
  • openSUSE
  • Windows

Chef

  • Chef 12.7+

Cookbooks

  • windows

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 for cpanm binary 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

perl Cookbook CHANGELOG

This file is used to list changes made in each version of the perl cookbook.

6.0.1 (2018-02-16)

  • Allow suppressing the cpanm diff with a new attribute
  • Remove the ChefSpec matchers that are autogenerated now

6.0.0 (2017-11-27)

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

Other Changes

  • Fixed Amazon Linux support on Chef 13
  • Removed build-essential from the Berksfile since it wasn't needed there
  • Fixed cpan_module resource to work on Windows as well
  • Added Windows 2016 Testing
  • Improved attribute and resource documentation in the readme

5.3.0 (2017-11-27)

  • Fixing the removal of the leading v and the conversion of the underscores to dots in Perl module versions when the version strings already have dots (ex: v1.2.0)
  • Enable FC016 testing again
  • Use the latest cpanm which has 4 years of bug fixes and enhancements

5.2.1 (2017-08-30)

  • Do not use an explicit owner and group on Windows. Let Chef do the right thing here which prevents breakage when the Administrator account has been renamed

5.2.0 (2017-05-06)

  • Fix license string to be a SPDX standard license string
  • Simplify true/false statement
  • Depend on a modern windows cookbook
  • Require Chef 12.7+ to workaround an action_class bug

5.1.0 (2017-03-01)

  • Resolve resource cloning in the test cookbook
  • Test with Local Delivery instead of Rake
  • Use the root_group attribute from Ohai instead of defining it ourselves
  • Use multi-package to speed up installs in the default recipe
  • Don't use "module" as a resource property since its reserved. Instead use module_name and wire it up so a user can actually define a module name here instead of the module name coming from the name of the resource

5.0.0 (2017-02-27)

  • Convert the existing HWRP to a custom resource and require Chef 12.5 and later

4.0.0 (2016-09-03)

  • Testing updates
  • Require Chef 12 or later

v3.1.0 (2016-08-05)

  • Added support for SUSE / openSUSE and IBM zlinux

v3.0.0 (2016-04-07)

  • Resolved Chef 13 compatibility warnings in the cpan_module provider
  • Updated the Windows Perl download URL to the new server
  • Updated Perl to 5.22.1.3 on Windows
  • Added the windows cookbook as a dependency so the Windows install converges
  • Added module install / uninstall to the default Test Kitchen suite
  • Added a basic Kitchen Inspec test to ensure perl is installed
  • Added build-essential to the test cookbook so module installs would complete
  • Added perl-devel to RHEL 6+ hosts

  • Added libwww-perl installation on Debian systems
  • Added support for RHEL/CentOS 7 and Fedora to the default.rb recipe
  • Added source_url and issues_url metadata
  • Added a chefignore file to limit files uploaded to the server
  • Updated Contributing and Testing docs
  • Added a rakefile for simplified testing
  • Added maintainers.md and maintainers.toml file and a Rake task for generating MD from TOML
