Rework cpan_modules.pl to install all required Perl modules #373

Closed drn05r closed 4 months ago

drn05r commented 8 months ago

cpan_modules.pl has not been updated in some time. It has been observed that different version of different Linux OS do or do not package certain Linux modules so cpan_modules.pl should be rewritten to be able to vary the modules installed based on the OS to ensure any gaps can be filled in.

After some investigation it does not feel like you should differentiate based on OS unless there specifically is an issue with a particular CPAN package on a particular OS. The best option is to probably install all required modules that are available in CPAN as this ensures getting the latest versions.

At a future date it maybe worth looking at installing specific versions of CPAN modules so we can be confident these work with a particular version of the EPrints codebase but installing specific version using the CPAN module as used in cpan_modules.pl does not look to make this very easy.
