linux cpan 参数配置,【Linux】Ubuntu安装cpan模块

While writing some perl test scripts that I wanted to be able to

handle both archived and current logs I came

across PerlIO::Gzip for

which there were pre-packaged rpms available through yum on the

Centos machine I was using at the time. After bringing the scripts

back to my (Ubuntu) desktop though I realised very soon that there

was no package immediately available through the usual channels

(main through to multiverse).

Being a cpan module there is a very simple way to bring it into

the debian packaging system and a step-by-step guide

on debian-administration which

helped illustrate this.

The simple steps are:

# Install the helper app

$ sudo aptitude install dh-make-perl

# Install the zlib development files

$ sudo aptitude install zlib1g-dev

# Download the module source and build a debian package

# This should create a .deb in the current directory

# In my case it is for the amd64 arch

$ sudo

dh-make-perl --build --cpan "PerlIO::gzip"

# Install the resultant package

$ sudo dpkg -i /libperlio-gzip-perl_0.18-1_amd64.deb

上面的“/libperlio-gzip-perl_0.18-1_amd64.deb”视生成的deb名字而定，不同位系统不一样。

The installation of the zlib development files is not

immediately obvious as there are no explicit dependencies for it

but attempting to build without them results in a slew of errors

including this one:

gzip.xs:16:18: error: zlib.h: No such file or

directory

These step worked for me, hopefully they'll also be of use to

someone else.
