This is a system package that you will need to install. This package is distributed for your operating system, and maybe packaged for your OS by your vendor. Maybe you need to talk to your system administrator to get that package installed for you.	[reply]

Ummm. OK thanks. I run Slackware. So basically what you are saying is that the code I am trying to run http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=820982 requires a third party perl module that might not even exist for my system? I have obviously done a lot of googling, but that reveals for the above issue is all to do with the debian/ubuntu 'apt-get' this and apt-get that etc. That's no good. Nick	[reply]

Hi Linicks, third party perl module No, as the others have said it's not a Perl module, it's a system library, often written in C or C++ and compiled to a binary, which the Perl module then links against. I don't know Slackware, but the first result when googling "slackware webkit" is http://www.slackware.com/~alien/slackbuilds/webkitgtk/, perhaps that helps? Hope this helps, -- Hauke D	[reply]

"underlying non-Perl library webkit-1.0" cpan/m isn't going to get these for you. The modules README file details the required packages, you'll need to install them on your system.	[reply]
