Request for a new Perl package in the ODK image

[gouttegd]

FlyBase ontologies are using for some of their quality control checks, among other things, a Perl script that requires the Business::ISBN module (to validate isbn: cross-references). We install manually prior to running the script.

Any objection to the idea of adding that Perl module directly to the ODK? (We already have a full Perl distribution there, so one more module is not adding much.)

perl ftw!

Actually I bet a lot of people (e.g. GO cc @balhoff ) would find this functionality useful

If we wanted to incorporate more directly: https://isbnlib.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

@cmungall There’s already a ticket here to add a “ISBN validation” feature to the ODK (whether by upstreaming FlyBase’s Perl script or by a completely different method).

Thanks for that link, good to know.
