Perl::Astro

The suggestion was made that we need the Astro modules for perl. However, it looks like CPAN has ​over 200 Astro modules. Which ones are the most important ones for the purposes of CAL?

Ubuntu ​has two of these modules packaged for breezy.

It should be ​fairly simple to package other packages for debian/ubuntu, however. We just need to know which ones?

Building the canonical ​Astro package looks something like this (note: i'm choosing an arbitrary module which is part of the Astro package, since it doesn't build an eponymous module):

mkdir -p src/perl
cd src/perl
dh-make-perl --build --cpan Astro::Misc
sudo dpkg --install libastro-perl_0.64-1_all.deb

it could be much more complicated for some fancier modules, though.
