Perl Automation & Deployment Guide

Automating and deploying in Perl usually involves using certain modules or tools to help accomplish these tasks. Here are some common methods:

1. Utilize Perl modules: There are various Perl modules available to assist with automation and deployment tasks, such as the Expect module for automating interactive command-line operations, and the Net::SSH module for executing remote commands.
2. Write Perl scripts to perform automation tasks and deployment operations. Utilize Perl’s system call feature to execute system commands, such as using the system function or backtick operator.
3. The Makefile.PL and Build.PL files in Perl are typically used for building Perl modules and can include scripts to automate tasks and deployment operations.
4. Utilizing CI/CD tools: Integrating CI/CD tools (such as Jenkins, Travis CI, etc.) can automate the building, testing, and deployment of Perl applications.

In general, Perl has a certain level of flexibility and functionality in automation and deployment, allowing users to choose suitable methods based on specific needs.
