go-perl - A bash shell script to install perl and modules


NAME

    go-perl - A bash shell script to install perl and modules


DOWNLOAD

go-perl


SYNOPSIS

    go-perl


DESCRIPTION

This bash shell script will install Perl and selected modules on a machine without you having to supervise it.

go-perl asks you a couple of questions (like where you want to install perl) and then grabs the latest tarball from www.perl.com, unpacks it, configures it, makes it, tests it, installs it, then downloads and installs CPANPLUS, and lets you configure it. Then, it will install a slew of modules automatically.

If you're on a machine somewhere else and don't have access to go-perl, don't despair: It's always available on perlmeister.com, just do

    wget http://perlmeister.com/go-perl
    cx go-perl
    go-perl

and the fun begins.

The defaults are currently set to the current user's home directory, assuming you want to use go-perl for local perl installations.


EXAMPLES

  $ go-perl
