Problems installing Perl Modules

I was trying to install a Perl Module today on my Etch box and when I try I get the following...

Any one has any clues on how to fix this? TIA!

Have you tried Google ?

What command were you running? What module are you trying to install? Doesn't Debian already pre-package it for you? What kernel are you running?

l0rddarkf0rce · 12-15-2008, 08:35 PM

Command?

Code:

perl -MCPAN -e shell

Module?

Sys::HostIP

This shouldn't matter since I also tried others just to test and I had the same result.

Kernel?

2.6.18

Can't find it prepackaged (apt-cache search)

60 seconds into Google: http://www.mail-archive.com/fedora-p.../msg02299.html

Thanks for the answer, but more importantly... Why did this happen? Are the Deb packages broken?

The Debian Etch package exists ( Net::Pcap-0.0.4 )
http://packages.debian.org/etch/i386...-perl/download
( http://packages.debian.org/etch/libnet-pcap-perl )
> > # 'apt-get install libnet-pcap-perl'

This is an earlier version, but '0.16' causes problems
not only in your system.

Comment : Debian has its own names for CPAN perl modules,
some names are rather different from the original, and not
always logical.

If you still have problems : The 'perl' you have in
/usr/local/lib seems very different from the default
Etch version in /usr/lib/perl/5.8.8/ , so an alternativ
solution is simply to use the default one.

This occurs after you update your system.
Comment out certain lines on the ErrNo.pm to fix this issue temporarily.
http://digitalpbk.blogspot.com/2009/...hitecture.html has more details on the lines and codes.
