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
