Hi, I'm currently using Salix OS x86_64 (based on Slackware) and I would like to install html2wiki (it is included in HTML-WikiConverter) but I can not find any package that references this name. In the INSTALL file within the .tar.gz file shows how I can install it:

Code:

perl -MCPAN -e 'install Bundle::HTMLWikiConverter'

Whose requirements are:

Code:

PREREQUISITES

The following are required for a basic installation:

  * Test::More
  * Pod::Usage
  * Class::Data::Inheritable
  * Params::Validate
  * URI and URI::Escape
  * HTML::TreeBuilder
  * HTML::Tagset
  * HTML::Entities
  * HTML::Element
  * CSS

CGI::Application and XML::Writer are required if you will be using the
installed web application, HTML::WikiConverter::WebApp. (My apologies;
I'll make them optional in a future release.)

I do not have much knowledge about it so I am unable to install it because I could not properly find its dependencies. Do any of you know if is possible to install it and how?

Edit: If exist a Slackbuild will be great!

Thanks in advance!!!

I didn't find a SlackBuild but as for other perl modules, while installing (with the command you quoted) it asks you if you want to install also the missing dependencies if I remember correctly.

Caveat emptor: the drawback of that method is that you won't be able to use Salix' packages management tools to manage (e.g. remove or upgrade) these perl modules.

PS I almost forgot: Welcome to this Slackware forum!

Thanks for responding. Well, the bundle appears to be operating in addition to be outdated. I close the thread because of this.
