When installing modules, you need to satisfy their dependencies, perl or otherwise. The simplest way to do this is not to build each one manually, but to use cpan (ships with perl), or cpanm (needs to be installed but is faster): `cpan Alien::Build or cpanm Alien::Build` [download] This will automatically download and install dependencies. This has been suggested a few times now in your previous threads, see Re^3: Can I use the Following Modules in the Linux version of Perl..	[reply] [d/l]

without all these steps sudo perl Makefile.PL make make test make install can i directly use the cpan Alien::Build or else any other thing you are trying to conveying	[reply]

"without all these steps" If you don't install the module properly, you can't use the module. I'd guess you're hitting this problem by trying to manually install all the modules from your other post. Doing it by hand is possible, but needlessly time consuming, cpan/cpanm exist specifically to make this easier. NOT satisfying dependencies will NOT result in a usable module install.	[reply]

Why are you using sudo to process Makefile.PL, but not for the following steps? `map{substr$_->[0],$_->[1]\|\|0,1}[\\|\|{},3],[[]],[ref qr-1,-,-1],[{}],[sub{}^ARGV,3]`	[reply] [d/l]

Please see A Guide to Installing Modules `sudo perl Makefile.PL` Where did you read that this command requires sudo? 🦛	[reply] [d/l]

Have you tried #native on irc.perl.org ?	[reply]
