Hey guys, A quick question about using CPAN to install Perl modules on a Debian machine.
I'm having trouble installing the required modules to get Bugzilla up and working. When I try and install pretty much anything via CPAN it fails. A specific example is installing DateTime. I'll run `perl -MCPAN -e 'install DateTime'` get tons of failures during the make process. I've traced the errors down to lines like this: t/01load....................Can't locate parent.pm in @INC I'm not sure what parent.pm was, but looking around I saw a possible solution of installing the Debian libparent-perl package. Doing that fixed that one error, but now I see: t/01sanity.......................Can't locate Params/Validate.pm in @INC Okay, that's odd, but I'll try it again. Installing the libparams-validate-perl packages fixes it. t/01sanity.......................Can't locate DateTime/Locale.pm in @INC Now it's getting dumb. I'm not sure why all these dependencies aren't being met beforehand, but I don't really want to go and try installing them all by hand. I realize I can get many of the modules as Debian packages, but some of them are too outdated for Bugzilla's requirements. I must be missing something. Does anyone know what might be going on?
