CPANPLUS::Dist::Slackware

This CPANPLUS plugin creates Slackware compatible packages from Perl distributions. You can either install the created packages using the API provided by CPANPLUS or manually with "installpkg".

``` $ cpanp CPAN Terminal> i Some::Module --format=CPANPLUS::Dist::Slackware

$ cpan2dist --format CPANPLUS::Dist::Slackware Some::Module $ sudo /sbin/installpkg /tmp/perl-Some-Module-1.0-i586-1_CPANPLUS.tgz ```

INSTALLATION

To install this module, run the following commands:

perl Makefile.PL make make test make install

DEPENDENCIES

Slackware Linux 13.37 and Perl 5.12.3 or better and the sudo command are required. The fakeroot command is highly recommended. You can download a script that builds fakeroot from SlackBuilds.org.
