nope, but it sounds like you're installing it from CPAN rather than
installing the packaged version.

try this instead:

apt-get install liburi-perl


btw, most perl modules that you might want are already packaged for
debian. it's generally a good idea to check whether a module has already
been packaged before trying to install it from CPAN.

most perl module have package names like lib*-perl

Installing Perl modules on Debian

2001-06-01 Thread David Ranger
Hi,

I'm trying to install the Perl modules URI::URL on some of our servers. 
During the install, I get a t/heuristic.t failure. All of the servers are 
running Debian stable with the latest updates

One is a Sun SPARC 64 bit running 2.2.17
The second is a PII 450 running 2.2.19
The third is a PII 300 runnnig 2.2.19

Has anyone else run into this problem and fixed it?
