Puppet Definition for perl module packages

package_define.pp

So first I create a definition in a manifest called perl_modules.pp in the root of my module like this:

define radiator::perl_modules() {
  package { "perl-$name": ensure => 'installed', before => Package['Radiator'] }
}


Then call the definition in packages.pp 


class radiator::packages {
  package { 'Radiator': }
  radiator::perl_modules {
    [ 'DBD-MySQL',
      'LDAP',
      'Socket6',
      'Net-SSLeay',
      'SOAP-Lite',
      'Digest-Perl-MD5',
      'Digest-MD4',
      'Digest-HMAC',
      'Digest-SHA1',
      #'Class-Inspector',
      'URI',
      'HTML-Tagset',
      'TimeDate',
      'Crypt-SSLeay',
      'DBI',
      'Compress-Zlib',
      #'XML-NamespaceSupport',
      'Convert-ASN1',
      'HTML-Parser',
      'version',
      'MailTools',
      'Convert-BinHex',
      'MIME-tools',
      #'String-CRC32',
      'XML-Simple',
      #'XML-SAX',
      'libwww-perl' ]:
      #'MIME-Lite',
      #'IO-Socket-SSL',
      #'IO-stringy']:
  }
}
