25 | <para>
|
---|
26 | The <application>Perl</application> module packages (also referred to as
|
---|
27 | Distributions, because each can contain multiple modules) add useful
|
---|
28 | objects to the <application>Perl</application> language. The packages
|
---|
29 | listed on this page are required or recommended for other packages in
|
---|
30 | the book. If they have dependent modules, those are either on this page
|
---|
31 | or else on the next page.
|
---|
32 | </para>
|

33 |
|
---|
34 | <para>
|
---|
35 | Modules utilized by packages throughout BLFS are listed here, along with
|
---|
36 | their dependencies. The various ways of building and installing perl
|
---|
37 | modules are shown at the bottom of this page.
|
---|
38 | </para>
|
---|
39 |
|
---|
40 | <para>
|
---|
41 | In many cases, only the required or recommended dependencies are listed -
|
---|
42 | there might be other modules which allow more tests to be run, but
|
---|
43 | omitting them will still allow the tests to <literal>PASS</literal>.
|
---|
44 | </para>
|
---|
45 |
|
---|
46 | <para>
|
---|
47 | For a few modules, the BLFS editors have determined that other modules
|
---|
48 | still listed as prerequisites are not required, and omitted them.
|
---|
49 | </para>
|
---|
50 |
|
---|
51 | <para>
|
---|
52 | It is generally worth running the tests for perl modules, they often
|
---|
53 | can show problems such as missing dependencies which are required to
|
---|
54 | use the module. In some cases, such dependencies are marked as
|
---|
55 | '(for the testsuite)'.
|
---|
56 | </para>
|
---|
57 |
|
---|
58 | <para>
|
---|
59 | It is possible to automatically install the current versions of a module and
|
---|
60 | any missing or too-old dependencies using CPAN. See the end of this page for
|
---|
61 | details.
|
---|
62 | </para>
|

64 | <para>
|
---|
65 | Most of these modules only install files below <filename
|
---|
66 | class="directory">/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.xx.y</filename> and those will
|
---|
67 | not be documented. One or two install programs (mostly, perl scripts), or
|
---|
68 | even a library, into <filename class="directory">/usr</filename> and those
|
---|
69 | are documented.
