Exercism exercises in Perl 5
- Clone this repository
git submodule update --init --recursive. This will pull in the Exercism problem specification repository.
Each exercise has its own cpanfile (if necessary) for any dependencies it might have. Other dependencies can be found in and installed with the top level cpanfile.
It is recommended to use Carton.
Install the Carton module, run carton install to install the dependencies from the cpanfile, then prepend carton exec to your commands to include the locally installed dependencies.
Each exercise should have an exercise-data.yaml file inside a directory named .meta (please add one if the exercise does not have one yet).
This is used by the exercise-gen.pl script in the bin directory to generate the module and test for an exercise.
Documentation for the generator can be found in the bin directory.
If the Exercism problem specification for the exercise has been updated, run
git submodule update --recursive --remote --checkout --force
git add problem-specifications
to update the submodule to the latest.
The Exercism system allows us to have example implementations in the directory of each exercise.
If they are in the .meta directory they won't be copied to the users. (which is a good thing).
Run the full tests with
prove -r exercises/practice/*/.meta/solutions
If a test is run as
prove exercises/example-exercise/.meta/solutions/example-exercise.t
the test will run using the example in the .meta/solutions directory.
