    I'm trying to install on open suse 13.1 I have enabled cpan to allow to install dependencies "cpan> o conf prerequisites_policy 'follow' cpan> o conf build_requires_install_policy yes cpan> o conf commit" but Iam seeing the following error when I run

[d/l]

      The missing dependency here is not a perl library, and not stored on the CPAN. The cpan client can not install this for you. Please refer to the documentation as previously suggested.

      Update: For clarity, occasionaly you'll find a module which offers to build third party dependencies from source, but in my experience they are the exception. The module you are installing does not provide this facility.

        Installed DVD1/suse/x86_64/file-devel-4.21-47.9.21.x86_64.rpm which had the magic.h and libmagic.so

        I have been through documentation as previously suggested though still seeing failures....any help appreciated
