Perl Modules

Introduction to Perl Modules

The Perl module packages add useful objects to the Perl language. Modules utilized by packages throughout BLFS are listed here, along with their dependencies. Installation of the modules shown on this page should be accomplished by installing the dependencies in the order listed. The Perl Module standard build and installation instructions are shown at the bottom of this page.

If a module is used by more than one other module on this page, but not by other packages in the book, it is listed by name (without a version) here at the top level to slightly reduce the complexity of the XML source for this page.

Where a module is shown as '(for the testsuite)' it is required if you wish to run the test for the module which uses it.

In all cases, only the required or recommended dependencies are listed - there might be other modules which allow more tests to be run, but omitting them will still allow the tests to PASS.

[Note]

Note

For unversioned modules on this page, if you are building without using the CPAN automated install then the links on this page (to metacpan.org) should go to "known good" versions, for which the dependencies are correct. If you wish to use a later version, please check the Changes file at https://metacpan.org - sometimes added dependencies are listed, other times not. The BLFS editors only monitor such modules, and their dependencies, irregularly. Some of these modules have very frequent updates, often bringing different dependencies. The linked metacpan.org versions below are known to build and work with BLFS-8.3

However, if you notice that the Changes file for a newer version than is in the current development book reports a fix for a security issue, please report this to either the blfs-dev or the blfs-support list.

Similarly, if you discover that an updated versioned module needs an extra dependency, please report this.

URI-1.74

This module implements the URI class. Objects of this class represent "Uniform Resource Identifier references" as specified in RFC 2396 (and updated by RFC 2732). A Uniform Resource Identifier is a compact string of characters that identifies an abstract or physical resource.

Standard Installation of Perl Modules

Install Perl modules by running the following commands:

For Data::Uniqid-0.12, first apply the required patch with: 

patch -Np1 -i ../Data-Uniqid-0.12-disable_failing_test-1.patch

Then, or for all other modules using the standard installation, proceed with: 

perl Makefile.PL &&
make &&
make test
[Note]

Note

If the module is described as using the unsafe variant of the Standard Installation, and you are using perl-5.26.0 or later, (the use of the current directory in @INC was removed for security reasons) you should change the perl invocation to: 

PERL_USE_UNSAFE_INC=1 &&

If, however, you are using the Auto Installation described below, that environment variable will be set whenever the cpan shell install is used.

Now, as the root user: 

make install
[Note]

Note

When reinstalling a Perl module, sometimes older versions of the module being reinstalled are in other directories specified in @INC. To delete all other versions of the module being reinstalled (not simply older ones) set the UNINST variable: 

make install UNINST=1

Installation of Perl Modules which use Build.PL

Install Perl modules which use Build.PL by running the following commands: 

perl Build.PL &&
./Build &&
./Build test

Now, as the root user: 

./Build install

(Alternate) Auto Installation of Perl Modules.

There is an alternate way of installing the modules using the cpan shell install command. The command automatically downloads the source from the CPAN archive, extracts it, runs the compilation, testing and installation commands mentioned above, and removes the build source tree. You may still need to install dependent library packages before running the automated installation method.

The first time you run cpan, you'll be prompted to enter some information regarding download locations and methods. This information is retained in files located in ~/.cpan. Start the cpan shell by issuing 'cpan' as the root user. Any module may now be installed from the cpan>  prompt with the command: 

install <Module::Name>

For additional commands and help, issue 'help' from the cpan>  prompt.

Alternatively, for scripted or non-interactive installations, use the following syntax as the root user to install one or more modules: 

cpan -i <Module1::Name> <Module2::Name>

Review the cpan.1 man page for additional parameters you can pass to cpan on the command line.
