w00t! perl-DBIx-Class now in Fedora 10 repositories

Posted: 9 December 2008 at 23:33:00

I’m still a little miffed I can’t sync my Centro with my KDE PIM suite, but I did just today find a reason to increase my love for the Fedora Project.

With previous versions of Fedora (and RHEL/CentOS), I’ve had to manually build some Perl modules like DBIx::Class and Catalyst. Lo and behold, there exists a handy-dandy perl-DBIx-Class package in the standard Fedora repositories.

What a complete and awesome joy it was to watch perl-DBIx-Class download and install along with the 45 or so dependencies it required. It’s so nice to not have to build that manually with cpan2rpm anymore!
