Package up Perl code? about bionitio

[tseemann]

It kind of is possible with FatPacker but BioPerl is gigantic. Usually expect user to install it via cpan: cpan Bio::Perl . Not sure if @drpowell is bundling all the npm stuff?

[drpowell]

I think instructions in a readme for the directory to run something like cpan -i Bio::Perl is enough. That's what haskell, ruby & js have so far

Actually it is a bit more than that.

For Haskell and Python at least there is infrastructure to install the code onto the system, either locally in a sandbox or globally.

@bjpop you can install to local with cpan too using local::lib similar to pip --user

[bjpop]

Will that install the dependencies as well?

Can you please show the full cpan command that will install your biotool plus its dependencies in some local place? Doesn't have to be in the $PATH.

Cheers
Bernie

I have now fixed this by creating a README.md in the perl5 folder which explains how to install BIoperl for Debian, Redhat and General Unix via CPAN.
