This is a new project and it's a mess at the moment
There are various things we do while developing and testing Perl programs across several versions of Perl, and this repo provides the code to build those images. These are in Docker Hub.
There is also official Perl images from Docker maintained at Perl/docker-perl. These are completely usable, basic installations that are updated frequently.
This project provides several layers of images:
- existing foreign images
- base - everything needed to build Perl and deal with CPAN
- Perl-specific layers - basic perl installation with no extras
- module-set layers - custom lists of modules for a particular purpose
For example, in testing Perl modules, various Test:: modules, Devel::Cover,
and other things will be already available. Use one of those images for
testing without having to install anything.
Additionally, all layers are available to anyone for any purpose, You might start with the perl layer
