Where to get Perl Moduals?

AnyoneEB · 11-14-2002, 03:10 PM

I was trying to run a perl program (script?) and it gave an error looking for a file (Pcap.pm). I looked at the readme and it says:

Quote:

Requires the following perl modules:
Net::Pcap
NetPacket::Ethernet
NetPacket::IP
NetPacket::TCP
Unicode::String
DBI
DBD::mysql

Where should I look to get those?

I'm using Debian and Perl 5.6.1.

The best place is either from your distro media or CPAN.

Thank you for the link, I found all the modules I needed, but I still get an error.

Quote:

Can't locate loadable object for module Net::Pcap in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/local/lib/perl/5.6.1 /usr/local/share/perl/5.6.1 /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/share/per
l5 /usr/lib/perl/5.6.1 /usr/share/perl/5.6.1 /usr/local/lib/site_perl .)

Is that a coding error or do I need more files? (Pcap.pm is in the path, and it reconizes that)

EDIT: fixed, now it runs and gives the error:

Quote:

perl: relocation error: /usr/local/lib/perl/5.6.1/auto/Net/Pcap/Pcap.so: undefined symbol: pcap_open_live

i've never seen that yet cause the perl modules tend to install perfectly. if they are missing some dependencies they usually complain about that during
perl Makefile.PL or make or make install
but it seems there is a shared object missing or not written correctly??
1. u might update to perl5.8, perhaps then everything works fine
2. u might wait for someone who knows better :-)

I fixed the problem by deleting the files that I installed manually and finding out what the name of the apt-get modual was and that worked fine.
