INSTALLATION ------------ First, you need libfluent-bit.so Alien::FluentBit helps you with this by building one from source. The binary dist from github.com/fluent/fluent-bit currently does not work with perl without adding the library to LD_PRELOAD which is not a great solution. apt-get install cmake flex bison m4 # not required, but speeds things up cpanm Alien::FluentBit Now you can install the module: cpanm Fluent-LibFluentBit-0.02.tar.gz or: tar -xf Fluent-LibFluentBit-0.02.tar.gz cd Fluent-LibFluentBit-0.02 perl Makefile.PL make make test make install DEVELOPMENT ----------- Download or checkout the source code, then: dzil --authordeps | cpanm dzil test To build and run single unit tests, use the 'dtest' script: ./dtest t/10-output-to-datadog.t To build and install a trial version, use V=0.02_01 dzil build cpanm Fluent-LibFluentBit-0.02_01.tar.gz
