/usr/bin/perlbin/site missing

I'm trying to figure out what package /usr/bin/perlbin/site provides. I'm trying to run something which needs something out of that directory, but I don't have it.

Re: /usr/bin/perlbin/site missing

You should install pkgfile, which contains a database of packages and their respective files; that should be able to tell you which package /usr/bin/perlbin/site belongs to.

Re: /usr/bin/perlbin/site missing

Not that this is answering the original question, but if stuff is installed from cpan and not through packages, this directory can be created.

I haven't any CPAN installed stuff and I have this directory too though?

I don't know much about perl, but I suppose that it's a standard perl directory. I knew about it because I was playing with perl-Clipboard which dumped some stuff there.

Re: /usr/bin/perlbin/site missing

I thought it was bogus at first... I don't see why stuff like that should be in a subdir of /usr/bin/, I'd rather expect it in /usr/libexec/ or sth - it's the only subdir in /usr/bin/, I checked to be sure.

Re: /usr/bin/perlbin/site missing

I agree it's odd. I can't find the pkgifle you were talking about, nor in the repositories nor aur.

Re: /usr/bin/perlbin/site missing

Well, I don't find it either (I know you could query phrik - on IRC - for file ownership, and it refers to pkgfile now). But look what querying phrik about pkgfile says:

23:23:29     Borromini  !pkgfile
23:23:31         phrik  A tool to find out what package owns a file. Now available in community/pkgtools! http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=17941

Don't ask me why they can't just make it say 'pkgfile is provided by the pkgtools package'...

Re: /usr/bin/perlbin/site missing

Thanks. I managed to find out what packages I was missing with pkgfile (part of pkgtools). A nifty tool I must add.
