![Perl 5 Camel](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/thibaultduponchelle/perlres/3677823f2b1ca547604a7ce1feb36d22045b521a/perl-camel.svg)

Perl 5 camel from [perl-assets](https://github.com/metacpan/perl-assets/), created for us by [Zach

## :clipboard: Summary

Derived from [LinuxFR](https://linuxfr.org/) french article [Pour tout savoir du Perl post-moderne](https://linuxfr.org/news/pour-tout-savoir-du-perl-post-moderne).

As a reminder, [Perl](https://www.perl.org/) is a general-purpose programming language created in 1987 by [Larry Wall](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larry_Wall).  
Perl officially stands for [Practical Extraction and Report Language, except when it doesn't](https://perldoc.perl.org/perl#DESCRIPTION)  
whereas unofficially for Pathologically Eclectic Rubbish Lister.  
Nicknamed "the Swiss Army chainsaw of scripting languages".

> "Perl continues to flourish into its fourth decade thanks to a vibrant community of users and developers" (dixit [perldelta](https://metacpan.org/pod/distribution/perl/pod/perldelta.pod#Acknowledgements))

Perl is distributed under a dual licence : [Artistic Licence](https://opensource.org/licenses/Artistic-2.0) and [GPL v1+](https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-3.0.html). Most of CPAN modules [follow the same rule](https://www.cpan.org/misc/cpan-faq.html#How_is_Perl_licensed).

# :rocket: Develop with Perl
## :arrow_down: Install CPAN modules
The **modern way** is to use [cpanm](https://metacpan.org/pod/distribution/App-cpanminus/bin/cpanm) (cpanminus). The tool is able to get the requested module and resolve dependencies. For instance, to install the excellent module [XML::LibXML](https://metacpan.org/pod/XML::LibXML) from [Shlomif](https://github.com/shlomif) which is a wrapper of [libxml2](http://www.xmlsoft.org), we can do ``sudo cpanm XML::LibXML``, that produces the following output (truncated) :

```bash
--> 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](https://metacpan.org/pod/cpanfile) (and using then [carton](https://metacpan.org/pod/Carton) or `cpanm --installdeps .` for the setup).

## :heavy_check_mark: Linters
Executable by hand or directly integrated in your scripts, IDE or editors (vim users : [ale](https://github.com/w0rp/ale) or [syntastic](https://github.com/vim-syntastic/syntastic)).

- [`perl -c`](https://perldoc.pl/perlrun.html), 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](https://github.com/w0rp/ale/issues/1186) the default _linter_ used by the plugin [vim ale](https://github.com/w0rp/ale) is no longer `perl -c` (nor even `perl -w`).
The syntax checking in Perl is great (as well as the error messages from the interpreter... I :heart: Perl)

- [Perl::Critic](https://metacpan.org/pod/Perl::Critic), that *criticizes*  your coding style but do not check syntax. For instance, the file `bad.pl` contains :

```perl
use strict;
print "toto" }{
```

And `perl -c bad.pl` prints :

```
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.pl source OK` (but is not happy with the missing  `use strict`).

- A module that was part of the core distribution of Perl but was finally removed in Perl **5.19** : [B::Lint](https://metacpan.org/pod/B::Lint).
While we are here, how to know the history of a module in the core distribution ? Use [corelist](https://perldoc.pl/corelist.html) ! `corelist B::Lint` that gives us :

```
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](https://metacpan.org/pod/Perl::Lint) that focuses on speed while being compatible with **Perl::Critic**.

## :hammer_and_pick: How to compile perl
See [how to compile perl](https://www.cpan.org/src)

Actually it will give this :

```bash
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
```

## :pill: Compile modules
If we decide to use or not a module like [cpanm](https://metacpan.org/pod/distribution/App-cpanminus/bin/cpanm), at the end the module is compiled using [ExtUtils::MakeMaker](https://metacpan.org/pod/ExtUtils::MakeMaker) or [Module::Build](https://metacpan.org/pod/Module::Build). [ExtUtils::MakeMaker](https://metacpan.org/pod/ExtUtils::MakeMaker) is a _core module_, while [Module::Build](https://metacpan.org/pod/Module::Build) was added then removed (**5.9 → 5.19**). **David Golden** explains in a blog post why [he requested to remove Module::Build](https://xdg.me/blog/paying-respect-to-modulebuild/).

### ExtUtils::MakeMaker
The module [ExtUtils::MakeMaker](https://metacpan.org/pod/ExtUtils::MakeMaker) generate a **Makefile** from `Makefile.PL` :

``` bash
perl Makefile.PL
make
make install
```

### Module::Build
The module [Module::Build](https://metacpan.org/pod/Module::Build) serves the same goal but generates a file **Build** from the file `BUILD.PL` :

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