To install a module from CPAN:
cpan_module 'App::Munchies'
Optionally, installation can forced with the 'force' parameter.
cpan_module 'App::Munchies'
force true
end
You can also use cpanm's version mechanism to grab a specific version, or glob a version.
Exactly version 1.01 of App::Munchies
will be installed:
cpan_module 'App::Munchies'
version '== 1.01'
end
At least version 1.01 of App::Munchies
will be installed:
cpan_module 'App::Munchies'
version '1.01'
end
At least version 1.01 will be installed, but not version 2:
cpan_module 'App::Munchies'
version '>= 1.01, < 2.0'
end
Additionally, you can use the cpan_module
LWRP to delete a given package (uses cpanm's --uninstall
param)
cpan_module 'App::Munchies'
action :uninstall
end
