Minimal Perl

Setting up Perl on CentOS 6. I'm putting this here so that I can find it easily.

yum install perl perl-CPAN
cpan 
# make everything automatic
o conf prerequisites_policy follow
o conf build_requires_install_policy yes
o conf commit
q
cpan local::lib
cpan Bundle::CPAN # keep an eye on this because Realine wants you to hit enter
cpan App::cpanminus

Now we can install Imager (say)

sudo yum install giflib-devel libjpeg-devel libpng-devel libtiff-devel freetype-devel t1lib-devel
cpanm Imager
