Hello fellow easybuilder :)
On a traditional, OS-based Perl installation, one would use CPAN to
automatically fetch and install modules and libraries, including all the
dependencies.
What easy (as in "lazy") way is there to accomplish the same thing when
using EasyBuild?
I have a Perl.eb that looks like the one below. I understand that I can
list all the CPAN modules by listing them in the exts_list, but this a very
long and tedious process, as it does not take care of dependencies. Things
like BioPerl has a gigantic list of dependent modules, and I rather not
write out this list by hand. I did say I wanted to be lazy, yes? :p
Thoughts? How the the Perl guru handling this?
Much thanks in advance,
Tin
