Mageia forum

Good morning/afternoon/evening guys!
Just installed ur linux distro after long time choosing between well-known for me ubuntu.
one of the most disappointments was lots of removed Perl staff. and i dont even know how to install it.( i dont want to start installing perl from 0 in my home directory)
can u tell me, what package should i install to find h2xs on my computer working??

$ urpmf h2xs
perl:/usr/share/man/man1/h2xs.1.xz
perl-devel:/usr/bin/h2xs

You need to install perl-devel

For clarification, what do you mean by "lots of removed perl stuff" when you just installled Mageia?

Didnt want to be rude. But it rly feels like u threw away like a half of perl distributive, if there isn't even h2xs - one of the most popular way for creating new modules for CPAN.
And... I beleive mongers^_^

What is your definition of a full perl distribution? If you want a local copy of the whole of CPAN, then either create a local mirror, or use minicpan, or something else from http://www.cpan.org/misc/how-to-mirror.html

If you simply want to install all >3000 perl modules/packages that are available via Mageia repositories, you can use something like

Code: Select all

urpmi $(urpmf --name ^perl | sort -u)
