Can't install Apache2::Cookie

BarMeister has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I am trying to install Apache2::Cookie with cpanm. It fails and I can't even use --force to get it to work...what am I doing wrong?

This seems to be the issue but I cannot figure out how to fix it.... In file included from Apache2.xs:39: /root/.cpanm/work/1552445418.44572/libapreq2-2.13/glue/perl/xsbuilder/apreq_xs_p ostperl.h:22:10: fatal error: 'modperl_perl_unembed.h' file not found #include "modperl_perl_unembed.h"

I am on FreeBSD 12 and installed everything through ports.

Thanks!

Hello BarMeister, On your FreeBSD node can you run: `pkg search Apache2-Cookie` [download] I do not have an available node to experiment but according to How to install Perl modules on FreeBSD. The previous command should return with a module name. Then simply take the name and run: `sudo pkg install p5-Apache2-Cookie-version number here` You might need to adjust the names but through this process you can install all dependencies that might be blocking your installation. Give it a try and let us know if it worked for you. Update: I assume that you have installed Apache and also C/C++ compiler.

try installing `mod_perl-devel`. Though, I think it's best not to use cpan* but the system package manager to do module installation (as thanos1983 suggests) because it knows about pre-requisites outside Perl and will install/update them for you automatically.	[reply] [d/l]
