The first thing to do is to see if there's a package for the module you want -- it's amazing how many CPAN modules are already Debian-packaged. For example, I needed to install Net::Netmask recently and just did the normal thing. $ apt-cache search net::netmask libnet-netmask-perl - parse, manipulate and lookup IP network blocks # apt-get update # apt-get install libnet-netmask-perl -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
