in reply to Installing Term::ReadLine::Gnu

Ubuntu provides prebuilt apt packages for most CPAN libraries
:~$ apt-cache search Term::ReadLine::Gnu libterm-readline-gnu-perl - Perl extension for the GNU Readline/Histor +y Library
So all you have to do is
:~$ sudo apt-get install libterm-readline-gnu-perl
Hope that helps
