FOSDEM event "Perl, the hidden automation gem"

Juan Julián Merelo

Type lightningtalk

On how Perl can be used in almost every CI/CD environment, and you probably didn't know

Starts on day 2 (2021-02-07) at 15:20 (Brussels time, UTC+1) in room Lightningtalks (duration 00:20)

Matrix room #lightningtalks:fosdem.org

Modern deployment workflows extensively employ CI/CD tools for tasks that go from simple testing to automating the creation of container images. Most of these machines have a version of Perl installed; in many cases because it's an essential language used for many tools in the operating system it runs, in some other cases simply because it's there. In most cases, though, its existence is undocumented. In this talk we will make a small introduction to Perl and how it's relevant to 21st century computing, and then we'll show how to put it to good use in environments such as Travis, Github Actions and even Docker Hub.
