|

| 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.

| 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.

|

| 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.

|

| 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)'.

| 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.

| 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 | a library, into <filename class="directory">/usr/bin/</filename> or
|
|---|
| 69 | <filename class="directory">/usr/lib/</filename> and these
