It's also available [from CPAN](https://metacpan.org/pod/GitHub::Actions).\n\n## INSTALLATION\n\nTo install this module, run the following commands:\n\n\tperl Makefile.PL\n\tmake\n\tmake test\n\tmake install\n\nAlso using CPAN clients like\n\n    cpanm GitHub::Actions\n\n## DEPENDENCIES\n\nNone (intentionally).\n\n## HOW TO\n\nAfter installation, use `perldoc GitHub::Actions` for the commands available\n(generally a `snake_cased` version of the corresponding GitHub Action commands).\n\nIf you want to use this inside a GitHub action together with other stuff, you\nwill have to use [`fatpack`](https://metacpan.org/dist/App-FatPacker) to create\na single command. For instance,\n\n```perl\n#!/usr/bin/env perl\n\nuse strict;\nuse warnings;\nuse GitHub::Actions;\n\nwarning(\"Installed\")\n```\n\nsaved to `src/warning.pl` will have to be fatpacked via:\n\n```\nfatpack pack src/warning.pl \u003e dist/warning\nchmod +x dist/warning\n```\n\nand then, within a step:\n\n```yaml\n      - name: Test set_failed\n        run: dist/warning\n```\n\n\u003e Remember that Perl is installed, by default, in Linux GitHub runners. Also\n\u003e MacOS, probably.\n\nThis distribution has been created for use with the *system* Perl, so generally\nyou will have to write `sudo cpan GitHub::Actions` in a prior step. Once it's\nbeen installed, this will work:\n\n```yaml\n      - name: Test set_failed\n        shell: perl {0}\n        run: |\n          use GitHub::Actions;\n          system(\".github/workflows/set_failed.pl\");\n          set_output( \"Exit code is $?\" );\n```\n\n## COPYRIGHT AND LICENCE\n\nCopyright (C) 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025 JJ Merelo\n\nThis library is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify\nit under the same terms as Perl itself.\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fjj%2Fperl-github-actions","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fjj%2Fperl-github-actions","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fjj%2Fperl-github-actions/lists"}
