This is a new project and it's a mess at the moment
There are various things we do while developing and testing Perl programs across several versions of Perl, and this repo provides the code to build those images. These are in GitHub Packages.
This project provides several layers of images:
- existing foreign images
- base - everything needed to build perl with the defaults, but not building perl yet
- Perl-specific layers - basic perl installation with no extras, with the perl installed under /usr/local (so the system perl is the base system version)
- module-set layers - custom lists of modules for a particular purpose, with each module being compatible with Perl v5.8
For example, in testing Perl modules, various Test:: modules, Devel::Cover,
and other things will be already available. Use one of those images for
testing without having to install anything.
Additionally, all layers are available to anyone for any purpose, You might start with the perl layer and augment it however you like.
See some examples in briandfoy/github_workflows.
