Hi Tin I attach a quick and dirty script I use when I need to add extra perl libraries to my Perl easyconfig in case it's useful for you.
The output is something like this: $ ./get-perl-package.pl Digest::SHA1 found a package for Digest::SHA1 : https://cpan.metacpan.org/authors/id/G/GA/GAAS/Digest-SHA1-2.13.tar.gz =======Please add the following lines to the easybuild config file ('Digest::SHA1', '2.13', { 'source_tmpl': 'Digest-SHA1-2.13.tar.gz', 'source_urls': ['https://cpan.metacpan.org/authors/id/G/GA/GAAS'], }), regards, Pablo. 2014-11-20 2:04 GMT+01:00 tin h <[email protected]>: > 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.
