Debian has a package for that Perl module, so I expect any dependencies which it has will also be in the Debian repositories.
Use aptitude and install the package libvideo-capture-v4l-perl:
Code:
sudo aptitude install libvideo-capture-v4l-perl
For other modules which do not have Debian packages, you might want to use the CPAN interactive system. See the cpan manual page for more information. IIRC, CPAN does include the ability to recursively download dependencies within the CPAN sources.
Use aptitude and install the package libvideo-capture-v4l-perl:
I have that installed already. I am trying to install from CPAN what would be the equivalent of 'libvideo-capture-v4l-imager-perl' which isn't a package in the Debian repositories. So I downloaded the tarball from CPAN, unpacked it, and tried to install it. I ran into dependency issues.
I was just wondering, for future reference, if there was a way to install CPAN packages and have dependencies installed automatically, without more than some initial interaction, like apt does.
Be very careful when mixing package-based perl modules with CPAN modules. This can lead to mysterious module load failures, difficult for inexperienced users to diagnose and resolve.
Hi the two commands worked for me but at the end it gave me following things
Running make install
make test had returned bad status, won't install without force
Failed during this command:
DARREN/Tie-Google-0.03.tar.gz : make_test NO
ASCOPE/Net-Google-1.0.tar.gz : make_test NO
Did you run the commnad as root, you need root privileges to install, also make sure you update cpan itself to the latest version before updating any other cpan packages.
