How to use the Perl plugin
Run Perl scripts inside a container as flow steps.
Common properties
containerImage defaults to a Perl image. taskRunner defaults to Docker and can be overridden for other execution environments.
Tasks
Script runs inline Perl code defined in the script property — best for short, flow-specific logic. Commands runs shell commands (e.g., perl main.pl) against script files; use it when your code lives in namespace files shared across flows, or is cloned from a Git repository with a preceding Clone task.
Install CPAN modules in beforeCommands with cpanm <Module: : Name> (App: : cpanminus is included in the default image), or use a custom containerImage pre-built with your dependencies.
