Ken,

What I've been doing is a `docker pull ...` of the image I want to CI/CD with and then manually running a Docker container from it `docker run ...` and then basically stepping through the steps I'd put in my .gitlab-ci.yml file. This way I can catch any missing dependencies, any download certificate issues from my $work proxy, any packages / modules I "assume" are in the build but aren't and need to be `cpan install ...` ...

When I'm happy with that, then I create my .gitlab-ci.yml from my build notes and cross fingers it works the same! Most of the time it does. Note if you're going to do this for perl:5.16, perl:5.18, etc... I'd redo the steps for each just to make sure and then create a multi-step .gitlab-ci.yml that'll test them all.

Hope that helps!

Cheers.
