salt.modules.cpan

Manage Perl modules using CPAN

salt.modules.cpan.install(module)

Install a Perl module from CPAN

CLI Example:

salt '*' cpan.install Template::Alloy

salt.modules.cpan.list()

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)

Show information about a specific Perl module

CLI Example:

salt '*' cpan.show Template::Alloy

salt.modules.cpan.show_config()

Return a dict of CPAN configuration values

CLI Example:

salt '*' cpan.show_config
