How to add something from CPAN to nixpkgs
- Use the nix-generate-from-cpan.pl script (see nixpkgs/maintainers/scripts/) to generate something appropriate.
Example usage: nix-generate-from-cpan.pl Devel::REPL - After reviewing the result from the previous step and making appropriate modifications, add it to
pkgs/top-level/perl-packages.nix. Note that some things usebuildPerlPackagewhile some usebuildPerlModule. Also note the mostly-followed naming convention as well as the mostly-followed alphabetical ordering. There are plenty of examples in perl-packages.nix — use the source, Luke! - Build and test.
