add perl as a supported language

Open luto opened this issue 7 years ago • 1 comments

As we have perl-core (the set of standard Perl modules) and perl-App-cpanminus (a modern package manager) installed, our Perl setup is usable for most tasks. We need some documentation for it.

  • Versioning: Explain why we offer Perl 5.16 despite it being already end-of-life (but gets backported updates by Red Hat)
  • Refer to perlbrew as an alternative to install your completely own (and thus unsupported) Perl
  • Explain cpanm to install Perl modules from CPAN
  • If user-installed modules are used, a single line has to be added to the .bashrc - but we should probably do this centrally on our side
  • Apart from the docs we can write a guide or two on how to create a basic application with the Catalyst or Mojolicious framework
