Hi,

is there a recursive importer for CPAN that outputs all the 'define-public I'd need to add to perl.scm ? I'm trying to package spamassassin and it needs a *lot* of perl packages we don't have yet.

No.  The CPAN importer hasn't been extended with recursive import.  
Rekado is currently working on recursive import for CRAN that will 
hopefully generalize to other importers.

How many is a "lot" in this case?

To the best of my knowledge there is no such recursive importer yet. I was hoping to put some love into the cpan importer, but unfortunately a tumble from a bike has meant I need to take some distance from programming for a while :(

For a different package I've been working on that had a great number of perl dependencies (still submitting patches) I've done the groundwork manually. Tedious, but quite quick once you get down to it...

Good luck!

Alex

17 new ones so far. Many of them have dependencies in turn [many of the dependencies seem to already be in Guix]. I'm not sure how many there will end up being.

+(define-public perl-db_file
+(define-public perl-net-dns
+(define-public perl-netaddr-ip
+(define-public perl-mail-spf
+(define-public perl-geo-ip
+(define-public perl-net-cidr-lite

I have a recursive CRAN importer here, but it doesn’t take many changes
to make this recursive importer generic, so that all importers can
benefit from it.

I have been meaning to continue working on this, but sadly I haven’t
found much time for the past weeks.  I’ll try to send new patches this
week, before my vacation.
