πŸ’– Task::Kensho::Toolchain πŸ’–

okay so bestie, you found the Task::Kensho::Toolchain page β€” that's a section 3 manual page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation, and it's genuinely one of the cutest little entry points into Enlightened Perl. Sit down, hydrate, let's go. 🫢

VERSION: version 0.41 ✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

> cpanm --interactive Task::Kensho::Toolchain

That's it. That's the whole vibe check. πŸ’…

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Straight from <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kensho>:

Kenshō (見性) (C. Wu) is a Japanese term for enlightenment experiences - most commonly used within the confines of Zen Buddhism - literally meaning "seeing one's nature"[1] or "true self."[2] It generally "refers to the realization of nonduality of subject and object."[3]

So Task::Kensho is, like, a curated list of recommended modules for Enlightened Perl development. CPAN is wonderful, no notes, but there are too many wheels and you end up having to pick and choose amongst the various competing technologies like it's a group chat deciding where to eat. 😭

The plan? Task::Kensho is meant to be a rough testing ground for ideas that go into β€” among other things β€” the Enlightened Perl Organisation Extended Core (EPO-EC). Main character energy for a module list, honestly. πŸ‘‘

The modules bundled by Task::Kensho are broken down into several categories and are still being considered (nothing is final, it's giving "we'll see"). They're all taken from various top 100 most used perl modules lists, plus discussions with various subject matter experts in the Perl Community. That said β€” and this part matters β€” this bundle does not follow the guidelines established for the EPO-EC for peer review via industry advisers. 🫣

Starting in 2011, Task::Kensho split its sub-groups of modules into individually-installable tasks. Each Task::Kensho sub-task is listed at the beginning of its section in this documentation. πŸ“š

When you install Task::Kensho itself, you'll be asked to install each sub-task in turn β€” or you can install individual tasks separately. These individual tasks will always install all their modules by default. That's the whole point: ease and simplicity, the distribution's little dream. ✨

🧰 Task::Kensho::Toolchain: Basic Toolchain

  • App::FatPacker β€” Pack your dependencies onto your script file. 🧳
  • App::cpanminus β€” Get, unpack, build and install modules from CPAN. πŸ›’
  • App::cpm β€” a fast CPAN module installer. ⚑
  • App::perlbrew β€” Manage perl installations in your $HOME. 🏠
  • CPAN::Mini β€” Create a minimal mirror of CPAN. πŸͺž
  • Carton β€” Perl module dependency manager (aka Bundler for Perl) - Not supported. πŸ’€
Note: Carton is not provided by Fedora. Carton does not work correctly, if the system uses perl installed by a vendor package with modules stripped from core as Fedora does.
  • Pinto β€” Curate a repository of Perl modules. πŸ–ΌοΈ
  • local::lib β€” Create and use a local lib/ for perl modules with PERL5LIB. πŸ“
  • version β€” Perl extension for Version Objects. πŸ”’

πŸ¦‹ INSTALLING πŸ¦‹

Since version 0.34, Task::Kensho has made use of the "optional_features" field in distribution metadata. The way that this works is it lets CPAN clients interact with you about which modules you wish to install. Obsessed. 😌

The "cpanm" client requires interactive mode to be enabled for this to work:

cpanm --interactive Task::Kensho::Toolchain

Don't forget the --interactive or it just won't ask you anything, bestie. πŸ™ˆ

πŸ’€ BUGS AND LIMITATIONS πŸ’€

This list is by no means comprehensive of the "Good" Modules on CPAN. Nor is it necessarily the correct path for all developers. Every single one of these modules has a perfectly acceptable replacement that may work better for you. That said β€” this is a path to good perl practice, and a starting place on the road to Enlightened Perl programming. πŸ›£οΈβœ¨

Bugs may be submitted through <https://github.com/EnlightenedPerlOrganisation/task-kensho/issues>. (Yes, same link, it's giving "we really mean it". πŸ’…)

There is also an irc channel available for users of this distribution, at "#epo" on "irc.perl.org" <irc://irc.perl.org/#epo>. Come hang out! 🫢
