๐Ÿ“‹ Summary

Derived from LinuxFR french article Pour tout savoir du Perl post-moderne

As a reminder, Perl is a general-purpose programming language created inย 1987 by Larryย Wall.

"Perl continues to flourish into its fourth decade thanks to a vibrant community of users and developers" (dixit perldelta)

Perl is distributed under a dual licenceย : Artisticย Licence andย GPLโ€ฏv1+. Most of CPAN modules follow the same rule.

๐Ÿš€ Develop with Perl

โฌ‡๏ธ Install CPAN modules

The modern way is to use cpanm (cpanminus). The tool is able to get the requested module and resolve dependencies. For instance, to install the excellent module XML::LibXML from Shlomif which is a wrapper of libxml2, we can do sudoย cpanm XML::LibXML, that produces the following output (truncated) :

--> Working on XML::LibXML
Fetching http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/S/SH/SHLOMIF/XML-LibXML-2.0201.tar.gz ... OK
==> Found dependencies: Alien::Libxml2
--> Working on Alien::Libxml2
Fetching http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/P/PL/PLICEASE/Alien-Libxml2-0.09.tar.gz ... OK
[...]
Building and testing Alien-Libxml2-0.09 ... OK
Successfully installed Alien-Libxml2-0.09
Configuring XML-LibXML-2.0201 ... OK
Building and testing XML-LibXML-2.0201 ... OK
Successfully installed XML-LibXML-2.0201 (upgraded from 2.0128)
13 distributions installed

Reinstalling a set of CPAN modules can be done simply by launching a bunch of cpanm commands or by specifying dependencies in a cpanfile (and using then carton or cpanm --installdeps . for the setup).

โœ”๏ธ Linters

Executable by hand or directly integrated in your scripts, IDE or editors (vim users : ale or syntastic).

  • perlย -c, to check the syntax. Be careful that it does more than only checking syntax, it actually executes the blocks BEGIN and END (compilation step). This design is the reason why the default linter used by the plugin vimย ale is no longer perlย -c (nor even perlย -w). The syntax checking in Perl is great (as well as the error messages from the interpreter... I โค๏ธ Perl)

  • Perl::Critic, that criticizes your coding style but do not check syntax. For instance, the file bad.pl containsย :

use strict;
print "toto" }{

And perl -c bad.pl printsย :

Unmatched right curly bracket at bad.pl line 3, at end of line
syntax error at bad.pl line 3, near ""toto" }"
Missing right curly or square bracket at bad.pl line 3, at end of line
bad.pl had compilation errors.

But perlcritic bad.pl tells us that everything is fine bad.plย sourceย OK (but is not happy with the missing useย strict).

  • A module that was part of the core distribution of Perl but was finally removed in Perlย 5.19โ€‰: B::Lint. While we are here, how to know the history of a module in the core distribution ? Use corelistโ€ฏ! corelist B::Lint that gives usย :
Data for 2017-09-22
B::Lint was first released with perl 5.005, deprecated (will be CPAN-only) in v5.17.9 and removed from v5.19.0

If a module goes out of core distribution it's not dramatic as it continues to be available in CPAN of course.

  • And Perl::Lint that focuses on speed while being compatible with Perl::Critic.

โš’๏ธ How to compile perl

See how to compile perl

Actually it will give thisย :

wget https://www.cpan.org/src/5.0/perl-5.30.0.tar.gz
tar -xzf perl-5.30.0.tar.gz
cd perl-5.30.0
./Configure -des -Dprefix=$HOME/localperl
make
make test
make install

๐Ÿ’Š Compile modules

If we decide to use or not a module like cpanm, at the end the module is compiled using ExtUtils::MakeMaker or Module::Build. ExtUtils::MakeMaker is a core module, while Module::Build was added then removed (5.9ย โ†’ย 5.19). Davidย Golden explains in a blog post why he requested to remove Module::Build.

ExtUtils::MakeMaker

The module ExtUtils::MakeMaker generate a Makefile from Makefile.PLย :

perl Makefile.PL
make
make install

Module::Build

The module Module::Build serves the same goal but generates a file Build from the file BUILD.PLย :

perl Build.PL
./Build
./Build test
./Build install
