salt.modules.cpan¶

Manage Perl modules using CPAN

salt.modules.cpan.config(bin_env=None)¶

Return a dict of CPAN configuration values

CLI Example:

salt '*' cpan.config

salt.modules.cpan.install(module, bin_env=None, force=None, mirror=None, notest=None)¶

Install a Perl module from CPAN

CLI Example:

salt '*' cpan.install Template::Alloy

salt.modules.cpan.list_(bin_env=None)¶

List installed Perl modules, and the version installed

CLI Example:

salt '*' cpan.list

salt.modules.cpan.remove(module, details=False)¶

Attempt to remove a Perl module that was installed from CPAN. Because the cpan command doesn't actually support 'uninstall'-like functionality, this function will attempt to do what it can, with what it has from CPAN.

Until this function is declared stable, USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!

CLI Example:

salt '*' cpan.remove Old::Package

salt.modules.cpan.show(module, bin_env=None)¶

Show information about a specific Perl module

CLI Example:

salt '*' cpan.show Template::Alloy

salt.modules.cpan.version(bin_env=None)¶

Returns the version of cpan. sed bin_env to specify the path to a specific virtualenv and get the cpan version in that virtualenv.

If unable to detect the cpan version, returns None.

CLI Example:

salt '*' cpan.version
