    When executing a Perl script, it is possible you get an error such as <literal>./myscript.pl: bad interpreter: /usr/bin/perl: no such file or directory</literal>. This happens when the script expects Perl to be installed at <filename>/usr/bin/perl</filename>, which is not the case when using Perl from nixpkgs. You can fix the script by changing the first line to:
-  <programlisting>
-  #!/usr/bin/env perl
-  </programlisting>
+<programlisting>
+#!/usr/bin/env perl
+</programlisting>
   to take the Perl installation from the <literal>PATH</literal> environment variable, or invoke Perl directly with:
-  <screen>
-  <prompt>$ </prompt>perl ./myscript.pl
-  </screen>
+<screen>
+<prompt>$ </prompt>perl ./myscript.pl

   <para>
    When the script is using a Perl library that is not installed globally, you might get an error such as <literal>Can't locate DB_File.pm in @INC (you may need to install the DB_File module)</literal>. In that case, you can use <command>nix-shell</command> to start an ad-hoc shell with that library installed, for instance:
-  <screen>
-  <prompt>$ </prompt>nix-shell -p perl perlPackages.DBFile --run ./myscript.pl

    Perl packages from CPAN are defined in <link
  xlink:href="https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/top-level/perl-packages.nix"><filename>pkgs/top-level/perl-packages.nix</filename></link>, rather than <filename>pkgs/all-packages.nix</filename>. Most Perl packages are so straight-forward to build that they are defined here directly, rather than having a separate function for each package called from <filename>perl-packages.nix</filename>. However, more complicated packages should be put in a separate file, typically in <filename>pkgs/development/perl-modules</filename>. Here is an example of the former:
- <programlisting>
- ClassC3 = buildPerlPackage rec {
-   name = "Class-C3-0.21";
-   src = fetchurl {
-     url = "mirror://cpan/authors/id/F/FL/FLORA/${name}.tar.gz";
-     sha256 = "1bl8z095y4js66pwxnm7s853pi9czala4sqc743fdlnk27kq94gz";
-   };
- };

+  name = "Class-C3-0.21";

+    sha256 = "1bl8z095y4js66pwxnm7s853pi9czala4sqc743fdlnk27kq94gz";
+  };
+};
+</programlisting>
    Note the use of <literal>mirror://cpan/</literal>, and the <literal>${name}</literal> in the URL definition to ensure that the name attribute is consistent with the source that we’re actually downloading. Perl packages are made available in <filename>all-packages.nix</filename> through the variable <varname>perlPackages</varname>. For instance, if you have a package that needs <varname>ClassC3</varname>, you would typically write
- <programlisting>
- foo = import ../path/to/foo.nix {
-   inherit stdenv fetchurl ...;
-   inherit (perlPackages) ClassC3;
- };
- </programlisting>
+<programlisting>
+foo = import ../path/to/foo.nix {
+  inherit stdenv fetchurl ...;
+  inherit (perlPackages) ClassC3;
+};
+</programlisting>
    in <filename>all-packages.nix</filename>. You can test building a Perl package as follows:
- <screen>
- <prompt>$ </prompt>nix-build -A perlPackages.ClassC3
- </screen>
+<screen>
+<prompt>$ </prompt>nix-build -A perlPackages.ClassC3
+</screen>
    <varname>buildPerlPackage</varname> adds <literal>perl-</literal> to the start of the name attribute, so the package above is actually called <literal>perl-Class-C3-0.21</literal>. So to install it, you can say:
- <screen>
- <prompt>$ </prompt>nix-env -i perl-Class-C3
- </screen>
+<screen>
+<prompt>$ </prompt>nix-env -i perl-Class-C3
+</screen>
    (Of course you can also install using the attribute name: <literal>nix-env -i -A perlPackages.ClassC3</literal>.)

    Dependencies on other Perl packages can be specified in the <varname>buildInputs</varname> and <varname>propagatedBuildInputs</varname> attributes. If something is exclusively a build-time dependency, use <varname>buildInputs</varname>; if it’s (also) a runtime dependency, use <varname>propagatedBuildInputs</varname>.

    On Darwin, if a script has too many <literal>-I<replaceable>dir</replaceable></literal> flags in its first line (its “shebang line”), it will not run. This can be worked around by calling the <literal>shortenPerlShebang</literal> function from the <literal>postInstall</literal> phase:

    This will remove the <literal>-I</literal> flags from the shebang line, rewrite them in the <literal>use lib</literal> form, and put them on the next line instead. This function can be given any number of Perl scripts as arguments; it will modify them in-place.
