ElGato

Perl is only installed to the operating system and is 5.10.1 -  perl --version


Ocelote

There are two versions of Perl available on Ocelote

  1. Perl 5.10.1 is the default if you just want to use the system version -  perl --version
  2. Perl 5.22.1 is the default module provided with module load perl; instmodsh


Perl Module Policy

We will provide a version of perl through modules and the user is expected to create their own perl environment using perl-virtualenv.

Here is a useful Perl tutorial:
http://www.tutorialspoint.com/perl/perl_modules.htm 
Additionally O'Reilly Media is a well regarded source for Perl 

Installing Perl Packages Using perl-virtualenv

One of the best things about Perl is the number of packages provided by the user community. Installing packages generally requires root access but that is not a viable solution in the HPC environment.

There is an easy solution. You can use perl-virtualenv to create a personal Perl environment that will persist for each time you log in.  There is no risk of packages being updated under you for another user.  

Here is an example session:

[netid@login2 ~]$ module list
Currently Loaded Modulefiles:
  1) pbspro/13.0.2.153173   2) gcc/5.2.0

[netid@login2 ~]$ module load perl

[netid@login2 ~]$ perl-virtualenv my_project
perl: /cm/shared/uaapps/perl/5.22.1/bin/perl
