Hi,
Good question. It could/should be expanded fro Perl to Python module
installation (e.g. Via “pip”) and R package installation.

Subject: [easybuild] Any easy way to get lots of CPAN modules for a Perl
installation?
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
