Installing CPAN Packages for Debian

Thursday, June 19th, 2008

If you want to install CPAN modules as Debian packages, this HOWTO is for you.

First, install dh-make-perl:

apt-get install dh-make-perl

Then build & install the package. For example, if you wish to install the module Nagios::Plugins::Memcached from CPAN, simply run:

dh-make-perl --install --cpan Nagios::Plugins::Memcached

You’re done.
