perl module install noob question - Solved

hello everybody,

i've been away from the *nix world for some time now, and there are some things i remember better than others.
atm i am trying to install perl-term-readline, as it is a dependency for the metasploit framework - although i am surprised that package isn't already installed, as it belongs to the core modules group (that means the module should come with every perl install) if i recall correctly.

This is what i have tried so far (i read some perl wiki page and this is what came up):

[root@Omega /]# pacman -S -f perl-term-readline
perl-term-readline: not found in sync db

where do i have to look for that module?

Try searching with pacman -Ss.

# pacman -Ss perl
# pacman -Ss perl-term

I have tried that already, without luck.

This is what i get:

[root@Omega ~]# pacman -Ss perl-term
extra/perl-term-readkey 2.30-1
    A perl module dedicated to providing simple control over terminal driver
    modes.
community/perl-term-progressbar 2.09-1
    Provide a progress meter on a standard terminal in perl
community/perl-term-read-password 0.07-1
    lets you ask the user for a password without echoing
perlcpan/perl-term-progressbar 2.09-1
    Term::ProgressBar - Progress bar in just ASCII / using Term
perlcpan/perl-term-ui 0.14-1
    Term::UI - No description provided by CPAN
perlcpan/perl-termreadkey 2.30-1
    Term::ReadKey - Read keystrokes and change terminal modes
[root@Omega ~]#

You could try searching the AUR.  Or you can always install via CPAN.  If a pkgbuild is available in the aur, that would probably be the best way of installing it because the package will be recognized by the package manager, but either method will work.

Re: perl module install noob question - Solved
