Problem installing MIME::Lite on ubuntu


I have been trying to install some packages on a ubuntu server. I only have remote access to it and only have command line access. I have installed apache2, mysql, ftp etc and got most of my stuff up and running.
However, so far I have been unable to install 3 packages which I need. They are:
Text::CSV_XS
Image::Size
MIME::Lite
I realise that sometimes I need to install something else that incorporates a package as when I had to run apt-get install libwww-perl to get LWP::Simple.
I also realise that in ubuntu the package names are all lower case.
I recently ran apt-get install libmime-perl which appeared to work, but when I run my perl program it still cannot find MIME::Lite

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Since I posted this I have also found and tried to install libmime-lite-perl, but when I ran apt-get install libmime-lite-perl I got:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Couldn't find package libmime-lite-perl

Eventually found that my problem was the apt was not looking in the universe for stuff. Found this article http://www.us.debian.org/doc/manuals...basico.en.html and followed the instructions for editing the apt configuration file. Within minutes I had searched for and found all 3 packages I was missing.
