TOPIC: Creating And Managing a Private CPAN with Pinto & Stratopan DATE: September 9 TIME: 7:00 – 10:00 PM ROOM: MIT E51-376 SPEAKER: Jeffrey Thalhammer
If you use Perl, then you have probably wrestled with CPAN. Shifting dependencies, incompatible interfaces, and test failures in CPAN modules can suddenly break your application, leaving your team to chase bugs they didn't create. But managing CPAN modules doesn't have to be painful. A private CPAN repository gives you a stable platform for making consistent builds and managing upgrades for all your Perl modules. In this session, you’ll learn how to use Pinto to create a private CPAN and build your applications with the right modules, every time. You’ll learn about the dangers of the public CPAN and how a private CPAN can help mitigate those risks. Finally, we’ll cover some of the newest features of Pinto and show you a few power-user tricks to get your private CPAN up and running quickly. Stratopan is a startup founded by the speaker that provides "Private CPAN repositories securely hosted in the cloud." So Pinto is the tool that facilitates creating a private repository, and Stratopan lets you outsource the hosting of that repository. Jeffrey Ryan Thalhammer is a respected software developer, prolific open source contributor, and tech community leader. Author of Perl::Critic and Pinto, used by thousands of developers. Co-founder of Stratopan and Co-organizer of the San Francisco Perl Mongers. He consults under the brand Imaginative Software Systems.
