A two decades old piece of paper hanging in a dark corner at my home office wall qualifies me as Diplom-Informatiker (so I'm a graduate computer scientist). Theoretically, I studied computer networking, but practically it was all about software. I got that piece of paper for developing a project management software, and I've been working for that two decades as a professional software developer. BUT: I also do system and network administration, not because I was formally qualified, but because it can be fun and in a team of software developers, I'm often the one knowing most about networks. See Re^3: Working Solo and in a Team.
Thanks for your general yet personal comments that did hit the thrust of my questions, Alvin. I found the linked reading also worthwhile. Since I don't get a chance to thank you for your prolific writings on the net on perl syntax as I consult them, let me tell you how worthwhile they are to me as a person who sits outside of such organizations. I understand your injunction in Re: Perl Passion website. Since I refer to you and it in fixing Log::Log4perl was Re: Petty janitor post vandalism, I might direct your attention there as well. I would like to continue with some more code and output from the install that I initially described as "flawless." (ahem) It turns out that supplying the value 'undef' as the second parameter in a require statement leaves room for improvement. I've been looking at the output of varying commands, for example this one:
'Moose' was not on the list of modules to install, but I have it. Apparently, I didn't get the latest CPAN on this, and that would qualify as the "better thing" in this case. Q5) Is there a way to ask for a version number such that it is the highest? Q6) Do these warnings not make it seem like ExtUtils::MakeMaker needs an update?
I have been trying to determine what commands I have to add sudo to, where and how. Since I'm not going with a local::lib, I believe I need elevated privileges, which I typically prepend to a command. I'm going to list a bash script that shows an attempted perl module install, not because I want to force "the topic" to bash, but because I want to get away from this wrapper and do the whole thing in perl.
The main purpose of the script is to create a file that will log what happens on the terminal through the use of the | tee -a "$out". It creates a file based on a munged form of the time. Also, it houses the commands I'm testing: sudo perl -MCPAN -e 'install Bundle::CPAN' | tee -a "$out"This did not result in this module being installed. I don't know if the problem is with the command or whether my install doesn't have the proper headers yet. Usually, I have to "feel my way through it," which seems more to imitate a blind guy tapping things with his cane till he figures out their shape. Q7) Can I not recast this script using Log::Log4perl, this module that has come to my attention recently as a sticky wicket? Q8) Does one imitate Tatsuhiko Miyagawa's command to acquire App::cpanminus? curl -L https://cpanmin.us | perl - --sudo App::cpanminusThanks all for comments, In reply to Re^2: scripting a perl install on *nix, including making the workstation usable
