You might have the box from Digital Ocean or just on your desktop. I used Vagrant to build the machine.
Building the machine using Vagrant
Using this Vagrantfile:
examples/perl-ubuntu-xenial/Vagrantfile
sudo apt-get install -y build-essential
Installing cpanm and local::lib
Assuming you are running as regular user and not as user root.
cpanminus looks very hackish, but it is just the source code of the command you need to run.
Run
curl -L https://cpanmin.us | perl - App::cpanminus
This will complain a bit
~/perl5/bin/cpanm --local-lib=~/perl5 local::lib && eval $(perl -I ~/perl5/lib/perl5/ -Mlocal::lib)
$ which cpanm
/home/vagrant/perl5/bin/cpanm
In order to make the configuration permanent (that is, available the next time you log in to the machine) add the following line:
eval $(perl -I ~/perl5/lib/perl5/ -Mlocal::lib)
to the end of the ~/.bashrc file.
wget https://cpanmin.us/
