Need help with muttprint on Slackware 12


I use muttprint on other systems, but can't get it to work on Slackware
I couldn't find a package for it, so downloaded source and did "make" and "make install". Set the muttprint option in my .muttrc and tried to print some email. A 2 paragragh error came up on screen about "Text::Iconv" not installed:

"Muttprint Version 0.72d -- Error Line 1867: It seems that you don't have installed the module "Text::Iconv" on your system. Please install it! Another possibility is to use the external iconv on your system. This is much slower but works. To use it, set the variable ICONV_EXTERNAL to "on" in your configuration file. It's not guaranteed that later versions of Muttprint have this option. But internationalization of Muttprint maychange in future in general..."

I don't know what that means, but I do have Perl installed (This is perl, v5.8.8 built for i486-linux-thread-multi)
Anybody help with this?
I checked slackbuild sites, but didn't find it there either.
Thanks.

There is a lot of these small perl-modules,
get "Text::Iconv" here: http://search.cpan.org/dist/Text-Iconv/Iconv.pm

Thanks. That answered that one, but looks like I entered no mans land of dependencies

Anybody use muttprint or know how to get all the dependencies?

It works nice for me on a different distro.

Build Text::Iconv :
'perl Makefile.PL'
'make'
'make test'
'make install'.....and no more dependencies for muttprint.
